    It's ok to use different brand sticks as long as it boots. Crucial 4GB 1333MHz can work.

    What is the percentage for the battery? Samsung usually stops charging when the battery reaches 80% or 100%, depending on your settings.

    It is correct. You can check Easy Settings, there is a 'Battery Life Extender' under the general tab that stops your battery charge at 80% to prolong its lifespan. You can turn it off for 100% charge.
