    Just got my extended battery. It charged up to 93% and then it stopped charging. I am not aware of any threshold charging from Dell so I am wondering if this is normal? Do I need to drain it down and charge up a few times for it to charge to a higher level?

    So after draining it down to 10%, it charged back up to 100%.
