Hey everyone!!
I have a new aspire A515-56.
The battery is charging and when it gets to 79-80 percent it's not moving further this numbers.
I disabled the fast boot and the driver is updated.
Thanks!!

    Remove the charger. Then allow the battery to drain to less than 10% or just below the Windows low battery alert before plugging the charger back in. This should help re-calibrate the notoriously inaccurate Windows battery meter widget. Jack E/NJ

    Is it true that is recommended to charge the battery not to it's full capacity in order to maintain more lifetime and more charging cycles and that's the reason the laptop stops at 80 percent??
    Thanks!

    Its always good to charge the device to 100% and then let it discharge, when battery level goes down then recharge again, 

    The cycle of recharge and drain will boost the cells and give long lasting battery.

    Regarding your issue, i would suggest you to uninstall the battery drivers from device manager and turn off the device. While powering on the unit.. press F2 to access BIOS. Here Press F9 and hit enter to set the BIOS to default configuration (this will not void your data) and then press F10 and enter to save the settings and restart the unit. Once, this is done please charge the unit and check the battery levels..

    In the Acer Care Center, there's a setting to only charge the battery to 80%.  You might have that set.

    Uninstall ACC it does not run well in W11 and don't use battery limiting bloatware, it is perfectly OK to keep the power adapter or USB-C connected 24/7, this will not cause extra battery wear, the whole Li-Ion battery saving concept is a myth. You have to do one full charge cycle with a new battery in order for Bios and Windows ACPI drivers to register the battery capacity, failure to do so, by having battery limiters running, will result in bad Battery Meter data/stats in Bios and Windows.
