    Just a little oddity, that I just found...
    I opened Battery Meter and disabled batter charging around 80-something percent.
    That was days ago.
    Now, it's still disabled, but at 100%.
    I keep my laptop plugged in, most of the time, so it could have taken days for it to inch up.
    But, I thought disabling charging actually disabled charging.
    Hehehe...

    I guess the O.S is what prevents the battery charging but if you turn it off and keep it plugged in, it will charge normally.
