That is, it was dying. Now it reads 100%. Not that I'm complaining, but what gives?
Sudden changes in charge level can indicate a failing battery. Particularly a sudden increase if you plug the device in.

If the laptop is a Mac, there is an outside chance the System Management Controller needs resetting, which you can do by following the instructions at https://support.apple.com/en-us/102605
