[QUOTE="solarith, post: 215674, member: 13427"] plug inside the battery means its plugged in and fully charged. lightning bolt means it's charging. you should calibrate your battery. do a google search for how to do it exactly, but basically you need to fully charge the battery (as much as you can.. leave it charging overnight or whatever), unplug it, use it until the battery goes dead, leave it alone for 5 hours, and then plug it in and let it fully charge again. the battery should go to 100% then. you could also try to download coconut battery to see if your battery is screwy. it'll let you know how much it has depreciated in its charge capacity. do a google search for the program.
