    I think my battery is broken.


    My battery icon does its charging animation for a bit and then stops after a couple seconds of it and my battery hasn't been able to reach 100% all week. It just says my battery percentage and plugged in and i'm not sure about this but i feel like its missing the ", charging" part in there. My battery level hasn't been going to up this whole entire week. All plugging in my charger in my laptop has done is keep my battery level the same.

    :)
