I have an lg g3 and a kindle at home. Why is it that since new on both these devices that if they are low on battery you cannot use them whilst plugged in charging, the battery still drains?

On my phone for example if it has 2% battery but plugged in charging, i could probably browse the web, but if i was to load up a game, the device would still run out of battery whether charging or not, is this typical for most people?

Im sure on older devices that once you plugged them in you could use them and they wouldcharge at the same time but this no longer seems true of modern items. Is it something to do with lithium ion tech in batteries and the way it works?
