1 | Unfortunately, a few weeks ago I forgot the laptop was plugged in and pulled it towards me a bit forcefully. Since around then, it's only been charging to 80% max. clicketyclick1 - 2021-03-29 19:17:00 |
2 | Check your bios - an update recently limits charging to 80% to maintain battery health (80% limit is a good thing by the way...). My Elitebook does that and can be enabled/disabled within the BIOS Edited by acura at 7:40 pm, Mon 29 Mar acura - 2021-03-29 19:40:00 |

If the charging port or cable was broken/damaged it would either charge or it wouldn't. Any damage would not result in the battery only part charging. nice_lady - 2021-03-29 20:01:00 |

5 | I would double check to see if you can charge up to 80+ to make sure. acura - 2021-03-29 20:21:00 |

7 | Don't change the setting except for temporarily, it is to prevent overcharging and resulting in battery swelling cookee_nz - 2021-03-29 21:08:00 |

On my new Lenovo laptop, there's a new mode called Conservation Mode, when turned ON, it will limit the charging to 60% no matter how long you leave it on charge flower_tears - 2021-03-29 22:55:00 |
