    Changing maximum battery charge on Windows 10


    A notification popped up saying I could change the maximum percent my laptop charges to so I decided to change it to 60%. Now I want to change the setting so my laptop charges to 100% but I don't know how. Help please.

    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

  3. Plugged in but battery does not charge

    If the laptop works without the battery then charger is functioning correctly. Take a cloth with a bit of rubbing alcohol on it (or some on-the-go alcohol swabs), and clean the metal contacts that connect your battery to your laptop.

    Make sure to install all Windows important updates.

    Install latest versions of your laptop device drivers you can download the latest device drivers from the device manufacturer or from your laptop manufacturer website.


    Step 1

    1. Shutdown your laptop.

    2. Remove the battery.

    3. Connect the AC power adapter to your laptop.

    4. Power on the laptop

    5. Open the Device Manager by typing Devmgmt.msc into Start Menu or from Control Panel.

    6. Under the Batteries category, right-click all of the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery listings, and select Uninstall (it’s ok if you only have 1).

    Acer battery won't charge

    Generate a battery report. Amongst other things, this should tell you the design capacity of the battery and its current maximum charge capacity. All batteries loose capacity with use so don't expect the charge capacity to be 100% of the design capacity, but for a useable battery it should be well over 50% design capacity.

    I second Freebooter's suggestions for checking other reasons the battery may no be charging, but if it's health has deteriorated it may be time to replace it.
