Laptop Battery not Charging Problem:1)Overheating of Battery or Laptop:Some sophisticated laptops have built-in temperature sensors that will stop the battery charging automatically as soon as the laptop or battery reaches a pre-set temperature. This issue can be easily resolved by turning off the laptop for a while so that it cools down. It is also a good idea to clean the cooling ducts and heat sinks of CPU/GPU with the compressed air or vacuum. 2)Battery Drives Issues: the default driver of battery for your Windows may be corrupt or incorrectly installed. If the issue persists, it is a nice idea to download the newer drivers directly from your manufacturer. 3)Battery Contacts Not Properly Cleaned : If the metal contacts of the battery contain some foreign material such as dirt, then their contact with the power circuit will not be proper. It is a good idea to clean the contacts of the battery regularly to ensure proper charging. 4) The Battery Charge Never Reaches 100% : When the battery of your laptop is too old, it will never get charged to the full extent. It is also possible that the battery meter is not accurate to measure the complete charge of your battery. It is a good idea to replace your battery if the problem persists. 5) The Battery Gets Depleted Fast after Getting Charged Completely : The battery may get depleted at a rapid rate even when it is fully charged. In this case, you are either using a damaged or old battery that doesn’t hold the charge anymore.
