added updated test results

| Dec 3, 2015 at 15:35 | comment | added | beeshyams | @izzy. Just as FYI. Ran same test on my current device and results appear different. Time permitting will post on electrical SE to better understand and may link it . It's not correct to post suspect results, you will agree. Apologies, since you spent time on editing it in addition to reviewing | |

Improved formatting

| Dec 1, 2015 at 17:55 | comment | added | Izzy | @beeshyams Thanks for the update! After a quick glance, I share your conclusion (as I did before you wrote it): "Don't apply heavy load while charging, while light use is OK". As for the articles: the originals still exist, and I doubt they have been updated. It's primary a print medium :) | |

| Dec 1, 2015 at 16:51 | comment | added | beeshyams | @izzy. Managed to test with screen on. Your views please? Also tried hard to see if your "consumption table ", has been updated, but couldn't locate the original itself, even with Google translate | |

Elaboration of answer with experimental evidence

| Nov 29, 2015 at 9:14 | comment | added | Izzy | "small corrections" sound reasonable. Maybe there's a "margin" for "minimal load" permitted which can be corrected – otherwise plenty of things wouldn't make much sense (think of Daydream, night stands etc.) or at least would be very questionable (think of "keep display on while connected" in the developer settings; and now cross-check that with my "consumption table" – that would mean about as much consumption as USB2 would feed). | |
| Nov 29, 2015 at 9:10 | comment | added | beeshyams | @Izzy. Possibly some amount of correction is provided by smart battery algorithms for minimal usage and that's why it didn't hurt.I want to explore this possibility and search but don't know how and where to start :-).Thanks for +1, coming from you counts more !!! | |
| Nov 29, 2015 at 9:01 | comment | added | Izzy | @beeshyams I've upvoted your answer for all the efforts and details you've put into it. Still, in my experience this seems to be a theory I didn't feel much effects from practically. Maybe the "duties" I put on my devices during charge never were "heavy" enough to cause an effect – or I've got an extra perfect battery :) | |

| Nov 29, 2015 at 6:17 | comment | added | beeshyams | @Izzy. Thanks for the input in your answer giving link to typical values. Helped me collect thoughts and edit my answer, "over rated" as you termed it but best IMO to give a clear view and everyone is free to take their call | |

added diagram and explanation
|
| Nov 27, 2015 at 14:08 | comment | added | Izzy | @beeshyams Agreed. Though I think this issue is "overrated". I have multiple Android device in use here, some of them for 5 years now, and always charge them while turned on – somethimes even work on them via ADB (USB charging along). Especially the 5-year models are still of perfect battery health. Of course, none of the "duties" applied by during charge are "heavy" :) | |
| Nov 27, 2015 at 13:53 | comment | added | beeshyams | @izzy firstly, it is not just the load but on which stage of charging it occurs. Of particular concern is the saturation stage,. Where charging current should taper down to prevent voltage build up. Secondly, I expect and hope (though yet to come across any documentation) that OS algorithms take care of typical usage while at charge and was addressing that aspect on the second para. Thirdly, downloading torrent is a fairly heavy duty and therefore care exercised. Finally, I don't think device manufacturers care about battery lasting beyond warranty, part of planned obsolescence | |
| Nov 27, 2015 at 13:17 | comment | added | Izzy | While you certainly should avoid "heavy duty while charging" due to overheating (extreme situation: A/C power while recording HD video + uploading the stream via 3G/LTE + receiving an alternate stream via 3G/LTE + playing the received stream with your display on full brightness = use gloves when touching the device or you'd burn your fingers: ~6W consumption while ~2W charging), I doubt your "parasitic load" having large effect in "everyday's case" – as otherwise there'd be a fat warning on the cover (or we'd heard of plenty related warranty cases). | |
| Nov 27, 2015 at 11:44 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | I have a battery pulled out of a Droid RAZR HD which will testify to the truth of this post. It was overcharged in a scenario like this and puffed up like a balloon. | |

| Nov 27, 2015 at 2:50 | comment | added | Jaskaranbir Singh | Modern batteries wont have noticeable impact on battery life even while usage during recharge. And there's basically no real battery harm in doing so either. I have been personally doing this since years! Modern batteries and algorithms to deal with them are pretty smart. | |
