This is really freaking weird. One week ago I posted this thread about my HP laptop's battery staying at 0% while charging, even after buying a new battery and AC adapter. If I took out the AC adapter, it would immediately go into hibernation mode.

For a while I was wondering if my battery really was even at 0% or if it was just the system thinking that's what it's at. So 15 minutes ago I decided to turn off the auto-hibernate on Windows and unplug the AC adapter.
I expected the battery to run out and the computer to shut off almost immediately Nothing has happened and I'm typing this thread on it right now. What the heck is even happening? Could it be that this battery is actually at 100% and the motherboard thinks otherwise?

Or if it's a smart battery with circuitry inside then it's reporting wrong shit.
I have a somewhat similar issue with my T420, the battery reports half the capacity even if it's fully charged but when charging it stays at 99% for a good couple of minutes and when discharging it stays at 6% for like 3 or 4 hours.

Basically your battery thinks it's completely fucked, even though it probably is not
have you checked if the BIOS has a battery recalibration option? If it does not, boot into it anyway and let the battery run completely flat until te laptop turns off. Then boot into the BIOS again and let it charge fully, then check the values from windows again

Your battery calibration is screwed up.
