That seems odd, no other computer has to do that.  Every other electronics battery charges to 100%.  
I got a reply from Pine64 support and they asked me to try Mobian, so I did and it charged to 99%.  But three other distros I tried all charged to mid 80s only: 
Plasma Mobile, PostmarketOS, and Manjaro Lomiri.
I had notice the same thing my pinephone, but then I remembered My note 8 does the same thing. If you are on a stock rom without root on most us variants it will show 100% but once you root you see that it's really at 80%. Before I rooted it, it showed 100% but when I rooted it i lost the ability to go the additional 20%. After some digging I'm positive it's to prevent overheating which can cause fires..
Interesting, and good to know those safety measure are in place.  Always good to learn something new Smile
