A:Answer If it isn't reaching full 100% charge, like stopping at say 95% or 60% and says "plugged in, not charging", it could be your battery is going bad. These types of batteries get worn out by two things: 1. High heat levels (so it's good to set it at a medium or low performance power level, not just to save electricity or the minutes you can run it, but also, the number of cycles it will charge/discharge. Also, with the chemistry in these, it's best not to let them drop all the way to 0%. Unfortunately, I'm having an issue with my charger, where sometimes, like after I unplug it after moving somewhere else, and then plugging it back in, I will have to actually unplug it at the wall outlet (or unplug the AC cord from the AC/DC transformer - that rectangular box that converts 120 volts at 60 hertz alternating current, down to 12 volts, 5 volts, 3.3 volts, or whatever the demands of the unit may be.
I would try a battery test if your unit came with a power management custom battery test kit. In Windows you can also check the power options by right-clicking the battery icon at the lower right portion near the date and time.
