Same phone, same charger, same outlet - but I noticed a great variety in charging speed. From ~6%/hr to 28%/hr. The percentage of remaining battery seem not to matter.
So, why is that?

What kind of phone is it?
That might make a difference; I have an iphone and if I leave too many apps open it might make the battery go down faster.
Turning the phone off and charging it is the fastest way, otherwise as said there may be apps spinning the CPU enough to eat a significant portion of that incoming juice.
Nokia Lumia 1020 - it's not the battery, because the very same battery charge one day at 6%/hr speed, and other day 28%/hr speed. I always close everything, even the background running apps, and charge in airplane mode. I usually charge when the battery has about 70% juice left (give or take a few, but nothing significant).
So, I would say that everytime the conditions are pretty much the same. That's why I am curious. Right now it's charging at 31%/hr speed, and it was charging in that speed most of this week.
The battery has a good life. I can go easily a whole day, till it goes down to 70%.
To bad that the other phone I have (it's Android) does not show the charging speed. I would compare.
