a f kincaid Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Anyone able to help with a problem with my laptop? When I power it up on the mains the battery indicator shows the battery is recharging but when it reaches 80% capacity it changes to a "not charging" message. Never gets beyond 80%. Laptop works normally off the mains with the battery out. Laptop just over 2 years old. Windows 10. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled AusJag Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 I put this to my son in law who has a computer business and got the following reply. "Its likely that the battery is dying. In order to protect itself from larger failure , the battery smarts is only allowing charging to 80%. The best thing to do is to replace the battery" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
