When charging the battery, the power indicator on Joybook suggests that
the battery is fully charged. When I check it from the Power Manager in
Windows, the battery level is only about 95%-99%. Why?
It is the result of the battery protection design of Joybook. When the
power indicator on Joybook is off, it means that the battery has reached a
saturated voltage: 95%-99%. At this moment, the voltage difference
detected by Joybook is very small, so it will reduce the charging current to
prevent overcharging the battery with excess current or voltage, which
will damage the battery. Moreover, in order to protect the battery from
