    Hi. I just bought a new Dell 1525 from Future Shop. I currently have ac power plugged in, for the battery it says 92% available but it's not charging? Will it eventually go up to 100%? Thanks.

    Yes, I think it will. My laptop sometimes chills at 98% without moving for a while. Then it returns to 100%. I can't explain it though. lol.

    Thanks you for your reply. It's okay now.

    I googled about this and someone suggests unplugging the power cord and removing the battery then press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds then wait about 1 min then turn it back on. I followed those steps. It's now 100% :)
