Does a capacitor ever get fully charged?

there is ever-present and random noise and, after some number of time constants, the ''charge current'' predicted by the simple model is below the noise floor. Since the capacitor goes from zero charge to better than 99% charged in $5tau$, we typically use this as the time required to ''fully'' charge the capacitor.

Introduction to Capacitors, Capacitance and Charge

At this point the capacitor is said to be "fully charged" with electrons. The strength or rate of this charging current is at its maximum value when the plates are fully discharged (initial condition) and slowly reduces in value to zero as the plates charge up to a potential difference across the capacitors plates equal to the source voltage.

Capacitor Charging

To charge a capacitor, a power source must be connected to the capacitor to supply it with the voltage it needs to charge up. A resistor is placed in series with the capacitor to limit the amount of current that goes to the capacitor. This is a safety measure so that dangerous levels of current don''t go through to the capacitor.

What happens when the voltage applied to fully charged capacitor becomes lower than initial voltage? 4 Why does electricity flow into a capacitor (charged the other way round) but not into into a diode in this circuit?

Connecting a charged capacitor to an uncharged capacitor

When we charge a capacitor, it gains charge q on one of the plates and loses charge q from the other plate, i.e., its total charge remains zero. Capacitors differ, in that sense, from other objects, like our bodies or spheres and rods used in various electrostatic devices and experiments, which actually gain a net charge, when they are charged.

electricity

A larger capacitor can hold more charge, so a momentary current carries charge from the battery (or power supply) to the capacitor. This current is sensed, and the keystroke is then recorded. That makes perfect sense, and is kind of neat. What I am curious about, is what happens to that extra charge afterwards.
