If you charge your battery daily, rely on the gas gauge reading to
determine battery capacity. The gas gauge displayed by Power
Profiler may show that the battery is full, but the external power
indicator light may still be blinking. This typically occurs if the
charge mode switched from Fast to Slow because the battery
became too hot. The charging process is trying to put a little
more capacity into the battery; however, external power can be
removed since the battery is virtually full.
If your battery is new or has not been used for several weeks,
rely on the indicator light to determine when the battery is fully
charged. The gas gauge is unreliable in these cases; it may read
100 percent, but the actual capacity is only 10 percent.
