Cinema Remote Shows Less than 100% After Charging
Overview
To maximize its battery lifespan, the AVA Cinema Remote charges to 100% and then stops charging until the level drops below about 90%. This controlled cycle reduces battery fatigue and helps maintain long-term health.

Key Take-aways
- A charge level between 90% and 100% after charging is normal behavior.
- Keeping a Lithium-ion battery continuously at 100% shortens its overall lifespan and reduces its total capacity over time.
- The Cinema Remote’s charge management is intentional and protects the battery from premature aging.
Need-to-Know Info
The charging behavior can be thought of as a sawtooth pattern—the remote quickly charges to 100%, then allows a gradual discharge to about 90% before recharging again. This cycle repeats automatically and prevents the battery from remaining at full charge, which helps preserve long-term capacity and stability.
