Which is why the smart thing to do would be to check BIOS, free from any software to see what is going on with your battery. Not just ignore it as a Windows software problem.

I have worked on litterally thousands of computers and not one single time, did the windows battery meter read a false reading if there wasn’t something wrong or something that needed to be updated.
