    I've set my battery to start charging at 60% and stop at 95% - it worked fine the first couple of days, but now it just charges to 100% all the time. If I open the power manager, the settings are set to 'custom' and the threshold from above.

    Why does it still charge to 100% :<

    Did you take the battery out? if you did your going to have to change the thresholds to reset it. Removing the battery always resets the thresholds.

    That's the thing, I haven't... maybe I should and then set the threshold again.
