Some laptops can be configured to not charge to 100%. This is typical. 95-100% battery life is considered a full charge. Something to do with making the battery last longer.

Also, Laptop battery contain cells, typically six. Each cell hold a certain amount of charge. Together they provide correct voltage and amperage for pc. Some cells “weaken” over time and take longer to charge. The charging circuit stops the process when the strongest cell reaches capacity. This is why you see a non 100 percent yet it says fully charged. Sometimes you can remedy this by completely draining battery and charging

Note: Intel-based computers may stop charging between 93 and 99 percent.

Resolution

This is normal. The batteries used in these computers are designed to avoid short discharge/charge cycles in order to prolong the overall life of the battery.

To allow the adapter to recharge the battery to 100%, simply allow the charge to drop below 93%. The adapter will automatically recharge the battery to 100%.
