    So now I have two batteries and they both have the same issue where the laptop reports "Plugged in, not charging" anyone else having this issue?

    - Yes I tried on multiple outlets
    - It was fine this morning
    - One of the power supplies was not working at all with two different blades, today it's working fine with the second Blade but not mine


    * I have two Blades, one is waiting to be picked up by UPS and it's being returned and the other Blade was the replacement.

    I think the Battery drivers for the Razer Blade are not mature or get corrupt somehow, re-installing the battery under device manager fixes the issue for me. It can't be my charger or my battery alone because the issue happens with two completely different Blades.

    Generally speaking, newer laptops have battery savers installed. It will not charge until you drop below a certain %, generally its lower than 95%.

    Can also result from drawing too much power while attempting to charge.
