Windows 10: battery says 0%, battery usage says 98% and charging. what is wrong?

Hi! This JUST happened, and im trying to troubleshoot this before my mom finds out and maybe scold me. I've been playing these past few hours, and when i got asked to do something, i left my laptop charging since it was 0% at the time. When i came back it was full. so i pulled the plug off and played a video, but it didnt release any audio from my speakers, so i updated my laptop. after, it was dead. i charged it again. had to do something, so i left it charging. again. Came back a few some 30 minutes later, and when i checked the battery, it was still stuck at 0%. i checked the battery sett

:)

 

The battery saying "plugged in, not charging".

The battery saying "plugged in, not charging". It was staying at 98% for a while then went down to 50%. Now the battery is at 35% and will not charge. Please I Need Help!

 

Battery says 79% available and not charging

Hi all...

My Toshiba Laptop says it has a remaining battery charge of 79%. It then says it's not charging. It's supposed to charge up to 100%. There is an application that has to do with the battery life from Toshiba that says "No Peak Shift Patch". It says to install it before the "TOSHIBA eco Utility". When I installed the "No Peak Shift Patch" application, that is when I started seeing my battery not charging all the way up to 100% although it still charges.

If someone knows of any solution, that would be appreciated!

Thanks!

 

Battery won't charge to 100%, even though it says it did

The L: [email protected]$$ suggestion would be to replace the battery *Wink and to be totally honest that is the only surefire solution, Batteries have a usage life as well as a shelf life (which can mean that if a battery is stocked for a long time before first use you could already be part way down the road to failure.

There are methods to condition some older types of battery (NiCad), which tends to build up a charge memory if the users charges the battery too much - Ni-Cad batteries should be allowed to run down to almost no charge regularly to prevent this and following a similar but exaggerated system can work to reverse the issue -


Ni-Cad Conditioning

• Fully charge the battery
• Leave the device running at a high load, [Playing Video / music / encoding a video, (that you can afford to lose], after you switch off all battery saving options so that you can actually get to a situation that the battery gets so low that the device shuts down - leave for half an hour and try again as sometime the battery can "regain" access to more power reserve
• Fully Charge the battery
• Repeat This several times and also perform this action Once at least once a month

NImH batteries are supposedly immune to these issues but it can sometimes happen and the above routine may help but is just as likely to not do anything



The basic issue here is that a battery is a chemical reaction based device and the chemical reaction is reversible, (charging) only a set number of times ( you will often see very small print on rechargeable batteries stating an approximate number of charge cycles possible), the problem is that switching the device on when plugged into the mains supply is treated by the battery as a charge cycle. Some laptops will allow you to remove the battery and use it as a normal mains device - some will not - if you have to have the battery in place to use the laptop then don't plug it in if you can as this will actually improve overall battery life, both per charge and over the full life of the battery
