    Have a look at the battery guide.
    You might simply have a faulty battery and should contact HP for a replacement.

    There is no way you get that back. Mine is also freak me off. Every week it automatically drop down to 91% and start charging with no reason. I use AC all the time. Other battery suppose has this once a month. Maybe 7 month later I have to rebuild my battery. Just buy some Lion Cylinder battery and replace those chirps.
