Okay, this is weird
My laptop battery was slowly dying; as of yesterday it was at 24%.
That is, it was dying. Now it reads 100%. Not that I'm complaining, but what gives?

Re: Okay, this is weird
If you need a replacement hop on eBay.com not eBay.co.uk if you don't get any results on .co.uk. I got a new original replacement on .com for my Asus Zephyrus having only found cheap copies on .co.uk
I didn't change it because of fluctuations.

You charged it up? 
There's a lot of bumph out there saying that they should not be charged above 80%, but manufacturers took that into account years ago, stopping charging at 80% but reporting "100%". They also cut off the battery before it is deep-discharged. So, just let them sort themselves out until they finally fail with age.

Re: Okay, this is weird
Yes, it does. Still holding at 100%.
This sort of thing annoys me: there's a problem, you look into it, suddenly the problem is gone and the whatever-it-is just sits there looking at you and innocently saying 'What?' as if there was never anything wrong.
Oh well.

Down to 99% now. The weirdness continues.

That is more likely the cmos or RTC battery not the physical battery causing that
