It will start charging again after ~94%. This is normal for any brand of laptops.

i actually tried that last night - i let the battery run almost all the way down, let it sit for a while, then plugged it in over night. this morning it was back up to 99%. after having 5 ipods replaced due to battery issues, i'm a little gun-shy when it comes to an apple battery (or whomever it is that makes them for apple).

but all is well...

yea after 94% seems to be a sort of "cut-off point"

That display is only an estimate, there's no proper way to determine how much "juice" there is in a battery, you can only estimate. Don't worry about it.
