My battery won't charge beyond 80%

Hi Mike,

Try to check the battery status with HWinfo, it will (i think) estimate the wear level of your battery, in my experience it mostly depends on how good the battery is.
this is my result in a 7 years ol laptop, almost never used disconnected from charge battery always put on, as a reference to what to look for in hwinfo stats:





how often do you use the only the battery? if it is very often i would replace when wear level is above 30/35 %.

Hello,

So you're suggesting that I let my battery drain down to very low/to the point where it hibernates, but not to zero. I do know about it, but I never bothered to do it anyways. I'll try it once, though. Thanks for asking, anyways...but is the battery always lithium-ion?

My laptop is set to hibernate at 7%. But, I also don't want my laptop to suddenly shut down due to too low battery level.

edit 1: After reading, I think I get why you wanted to discharge it almost fully - you're thinking that this issue could be just because of this digital memory, which is causing my battery to think it's full at 80%.

 

Purity Pro Battery-Level max 80 % after charging

I couldn't find a way to edit my post.

I'm talking about the battery of my purity pros. Everytime I charge them, my phone displays the battery level of the purities below 90% most of the time 80%.
