Dell Studio 1558 Battery not charging beyond 44%
I have a Dell studio 1558, which i purchased in 2010.
I replaced my original 6 cell battery with a 9 cell battery which i obtained from an authorized dell service center in 2011.
After about 1 year of use, the battery now does not charge beyond 44%.
It is able to discharge normally and charges upto 44% normally.
I have tried removing the battery, cleaning the contacts, updating the battery driver etc.
I do not think this is a problem with battery life, as it should charge to 100% but retain it for lesser time. This is not the case here. The battery is not charging to 100%.
Any assistance in resolving this issue would be appreciated.

Hi maver1k,
You can drain the residual power of your computer and re-calibrate the battery by following the steps below:
You can check the battery health from control panel by following the steps below:
If the issue still persists, you can update the system BIOS.
Note: Make sure the ac adapter is connected and the battery is charged 10% or above to update the BIOS. Also, disconnect all the external peripherals before updating the BIOS. All the programs should be closed and documents saved.
