The battery of my computer says 0% but still working.

I have this weird problem with my computer that just happened today in my class. It has already been telling me that there's 1 minute remaining on the 0% battery, but it has been 45 minutes, and my computer hasn't even turned off or acted strange. Everything has been working at 100%. I don't have my laptop plugged in since I don't have the typical charger for this computer. I bought this computer in my school and I installed Windows 10 by myself, so I don't know if I had done something wrong while rebooting and installing it.

    Hello,

    That's quite an unusual behavior. Here are a few things you can try to diagnose and potentially fix this issue:

    1. Battery Calibration: Your laptop's battery might need recalibration. Allow your laptop to shut down completely and then charge it back up to 100% without interruption. This might help the battery's percentage indicator recalibrate itself.
    2. Check Battery Health: There might be an issue with the battery itself. Some laptops come with a built-in battery health checker, but you can also use third-party tools like HWMonitor or BatteryInfoView to check the battery's status.
    3. Update Battery Drivers: Sometimes the issue could be driver-related. Go to Device Manager1. Expand the Batteries section, right-click on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery, and then select Update Driver Software. Follow the prompts to install any updates.
    4. Battery Troubleshooter: Windows has a built-in troubleshooting tool. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Power and run the troubleshooter.

    I hope one of these help!
