I had this problem and unplugged the charger and it reported 100%. After this, it told me I needed to recalibrate. I had a full battery when I did start the recalibration the next day and it took four hours to fully charge even though it was already full.
I would recommend doing the recalibration when you get home one day and let it work over night. I think the whole process took 10-12 hours for me even though it started with a fully charged battery.

It should get back up to a hundred percent within another hour. I do this often.

For example, I was busy typing up a document today. I paused for a moment to check my battery charge status, and my BN claimed there was 13% remaining. Less then five minutes later though, it announced battery low. But by the time I could get my BN plugged in (barely 10 seconds after the first battery low announcement), my BN had turned itself off. Once Keysoft 7.2 restarted, I hurried up and removed all cards from my BN and turned it off to more quickly charge. When I returned 3 hours later and checked the battery gauge, my BN reported 80% charged, but when I went to support information mode and checked charge status, it replied trickle charging. I checked the gauge accuracy, and it came back with accurate, plus or minus 2 percent. So I turned it back off and left it to charge for another hour, before I came back and rechecked all these stats. None had changed, so I decided to try a recalibration of the battery. But when I came back another hour later and hit spacebar to see how far in the recalibration process it'd reached, I was told that it was still charging the battery. What in the world is going on here, and how do I straighten out this problem? Those who trade liberty for security have neither.
