Windows 10: Laptop Battery Strange Behavior

Recently, I noticed a strange behavior in my laptop's battery.


Whenever it is plugged it shows 100% charge but when I unplugged it, it went down to 0 and then computer shut down.


I kept it unplugged and then restart the laptop. It started up despite all warnings about the critical battery level and even worked for over an hour before I plugged it again! After plugged it again, it charged up to 34%. Again, when it is plugged, it shows 100 and when unplugged shows 34.


I am not sure if it is a hardware problem (battery, laptop, etc.) or a Windows issue. I did everything suggested such as troubleshooting, uninstalling and installing the battery driver, SFC scan, chkdsk, etc. None of them worked.


It is a Dell Inspiron laptop (over 3 years old) working with Windows 10.


Any idea would be appreciated.

Hi HFWindows

In that case this is a Windows 10 issue.

At night, turn off your laptop, and leave the laptop plugged in all night, so you are sure the battery is charged to 100%

Then run the laptop on battery until there is no power left in the battery, that should re-calibrate the battery in Windows and hopefully resolve this . ..
