well I went from 63% wear to 46%, going to do a few cycles of draining it full and a recharge. when I started this new charge it took almost 20 min before it registered 1% but the simple lights told me it was charging. I believe something software is not working correctly and even being a battery that doesn't have memory effect it sure seems to in this case.
I still have no clue what is causing this issue at least on my laptop. With the use it gets I would expect at least 10-15% wear. the readings I got 2 days ago was 12% wear, for it to jump so dramatically and now with a simple full cycle I have gained 17% battery capacity back that tells me something is seriously wrong. HP should be calling me about a replacement on Tuesday. Will see how that goes and if doing another complete charge and discharge gains or loses and wear.
I know there are a lot of very intelligent people on here and I think this might be a true issue I just don't know from where as I don't have the tools, spare parts etc to conduct a true test. I am going to start taking screen shots and if I can bring the wear back to 12% or even half of what it is now then its a legit issue and the next step of testing should be started.
