Nitro AN515-51 Start and stops charging

PeiPerView

I've been using this laptop for more than a year. Upgraded the ram to 16gb and swapped the 1TB hdd to 1TB ssd. The 1st time I encountered the problem was a few months ago. I wasn't playing then so I didn't notice any performance drop. The battery would stop charging at 95% as if the charger is unplugged. It would beep and the display would go dim. It will then drain for a few minutes and start charging again until it reaches 95%. I suspected it was the charger, so I switched my charger to my son's AN515-51 charger. The problem persisted and my son's AN515-51 worked fine. So what I did is I unplugged the charger so I can work without being annoyed. After the battery level went down to around 40% i plugged the charger back in and it worked fine again.

Today I encountered it again. But now it stops at around 80%. So I did what I did last time but this time it did not work. So I figured the battery needs to be calibrated so I let it drain until it turns off. Plugged it again to charge but the problem persisted at around 75%. There's an old post similar to this problem but it never got answered. Is this a battery heating problem? any thoughts?
