Hello! I have an Acer Aspire A515-43 that runs Windows 11. I recently got myself a new battery and charger, I have been using both of these for about a month and they both have been working fine for me, until an hour ago. After plugging my charger into the wall, my battery light on my computer is slowly blinking orange. Windows says that my battery % was at 97 and charging, but its stuck at 97, my battery percentage will go down, but not go up. I let the battery die until 92% by unplugging the charger, and now its stuck at 92. I dont know what could possibly cause this sudden issue, because my battery was perfectly fine earlier. I have the links to both parts I bought. I have tried other outlets, disconnecting and reconnecting the cords on the AC adapter, shutting down the computer and letting it charge for a bit... but nothing. Thanks in advance!

    Why did you replace the original battery & charger?
