below 95%, then charging will start until it is fully charged.

most of the time.
Gauge Reset
The lower right portion of the screen contains the battery health bar and provides
the battery calibration function.
The health bar shows the batter’s health by percentage. A low percentage indicates
poor health and therefore the need to perform a gauge reset to calibrate the battery’s
capacity and improve the battery’s performance. The gauge reset process includes
discharging and then fully recharging the battery in two cycles. It can take several
hours.
To perform a gauge reset:
1. Connect the AC adapter.
2. Click Start , located next to the health bar
3. In the pop-up dialog box, click Yes to start the process. The window as below
appears displaying the progress bar.
4. Wait till the process is completed. Click Exit when finished.
