    Battery is constantly changing between Charging and Not Charging every few seconds. Also...


    For previous month, whenever I charge my laptop its not getting completely charged. It charges for a few seconds and then stops charging. It is alternating between AC and Battery. Whenever Laptop is not charging, it does not show any notification that its about to shutdown and it stops unexpectedly. So is this a problem with battery or software? I have updated my bios and drivers but this problem persists.

    I have attached battery report from powercfg /batteryreport command.

    Acer battery won't charge

    What if the battery unremoveable? Should I disassemble and remove it? also there is a switch underneath the case and around the RAM slot that prevent the laptop to turn on when the case is open and without the charger. Is that the same as removing the battery? although when turned on with charger, the laptop still see the battery. Thanks

    - - - Updated - - -

    I took the report, the design capacity was 41.440 mWh but full charge capacity is now 25.752 mWh. Is it that bad? Before this happened I believe HWMonitor also show the same number with 38% Wear Level.
    Here's the report file
