Windows 10: Battery Don't Fully Charge

Hi there! Facing some laptop battery problems here. Hoping that someone can help me.

My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series with Windows 10, which I bought 3 years ago. Only this January when I replaced my device's battery which I purchased at a local computer parts store, and according to the salesman it is an original battery I don't know how to check for an original one. The battery works well before, however, I noticed just few weeks ago that my battery stops charging at 94%. I tried to uninstall and update the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and it fixed the issue only for several days.

However, about five days ago, it again stopped charging, but this time at 95%. But whenever I turned my laptop off, it continues charging. I can say that my device is charging since the battery charge indicator is glowing for several minutes and then later turns off, so when I open it again, it is fully charged. Any advice to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Battery fully charged, but still charging


My laptop has a battery light which tells me when my laptop is fully charged. When it is fully charged (it is green), Windows still says "05 minutes until fully charged" and then charges for another half hour. In the past the light has been reliable, so I believe that windows 10 is the issue. My laptop has also had significant issues with charging. I can confirm this with two batteries. I have an Asus K55VD which I haven't changed the battery plugs in or anything like that. What could my problem be? Here's what I've tried:

-Disabling and re-enabling Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery (no change)
-Turning power saving off in BIOS (did a bit of help with the charging problem)
-Fixing the fan (turns out it wasn't spinning, which caused a range of issues. Helped the battery charge issue a bit)
-Keeping the laptop shut down (didn't help)
-Keeping it asleep (didn't help)
-Keeping it on with the screen off (did help it charge)

Yet I can't find a fix for the battery charging percentage and time issue. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Battery Won't Charge Fully

Yes, but for weeks my battery was suck at 87% or so with an orange battery light so I'm wondering how it's now fully charged or at least is telling me so.
