HP Pavilion battery charging "bolt" LED light flashing at 82%

Question

A few days ago, my HP Pavilion dv-1413us battery charging "bolt" LED light started flashing and it would not charge the battery until full (stops at 94%). I unpluged it and used battery, and now it only charges to 82%. What is wrong with it? I've tried the power reset here, but it still wouldn't charge fully. Please help!

It sounds like your battery has built up a memory. It will continue to degrade until it will not hold a charge. Your best and most likely only option is to replace the battery.
