ACPI battery charge strange, %-age decreases even on AC
Hi
My Sony Vaio got a new (non-OEM) battery. It works good, gives me a little
over 2 hours of battery time. However, when I charge it up and leave the
laptop plugged in for days, it will start to loose its charge. About 1% in
two days. This goes as follows:
I charge it, it is 100%. Two days later, it will show only 99%, even though in
this 2 days, the AC adapter wasnt unplugged, not even for a second. Then, 2
days later it will be 98%. Now 98% for me. Before a week ago, when it
happened the same way, at 99% I tok it off the AC, let it use the battery
completely around 2 and half hours, and then recharged it. It was 100 and
then it went down to 99 again in 2 days. Why is that?
