I have a Acer Aspire 5 A515-56g laptop. I've had the battery charge
limit on for quite some time now but now when I turned it off my laptop
battery won't go past 75% no matter how long I plugged in the charger
(Battery status: 74% (plug in)). When I charge, I remove the charger after it hits 80%.

I want to calibrate the battery.

(I can't buy a new battery)

    I've answered this question before and a satisfactory answer for this problem was solved, as your laptops Battery Reset pin hole at its base will do nothing, as having your battery charging limited to 80% of its full charge capacity, the battery memory is stuck on 80% and now that the battery design capacity has lowered due to the cycles and loss of charge, your battery won't charge to even 80% and its only charging to 72%. Do a battery report and posted on the community, as you will see all what I'm taking about in the battery report.

    To fix this fault you need a technician that has a battery programmer and regenerator (which very few tech have) that can in 60% of instances reprogram and save a locked battery like yours, or a totally new locked battery that won't charge, That is the problem that you are having, the simplest solution is for you to buy a new battery and replace the battery that you have and NEVER EVER ACTIVATE THE 80% battery limiter in Acer Care Centre😀.

    These are the oem Acer fitted batteries for the Aspire A515-56G laptops, so buy and/or match the one that you have with the below Acer part numbers ONLY don't buy copy cheap batteries as they will give you problems also with the charging capacities.
