I put a generic battery in my phone and from then on it would not charge over 85% Just put a different battery in and it now does,what is built in to the old one to cause the limitation?

Some charge protection circuitry issue or issue with the battery itself maybe.

If the battery metering is done by circuitry in the phone, possibly the battery chemistry is slightly different and it charges to a lower voltage. It could also be resistance on the battery contacts.
If the metering is done by the battery circuitry, then it may be a mistake in the communication system it uses to talk with the phone.
Either way it sounds like the mob who made the battery didn't really care.

Charge protection on the battery sounds right. It's stopping charge at maybe
4.15v and the phone wants to charge to 4.25v (fill in your own numbers..). Hence the phone thinks it's only 85% charged.-- Shaun.
