FIXED: Power manager keeps charging with custom limit set

When setting the power manager to "custom settings" with limits between 50% and 70%, my pc does not stop charging when it gets past 70%. I have set these limits to a variety of values already and checked in the bios that the same is listed. I also reinstalled the power manager with its power manager service multiple times, but that does not seem to make a difference. I am using the latest power manager version 3.6.0

Does anybody else have these problems? I am using a XPS 9300 i5.

EDIT: I changed the power manager service to start automatically, this was previously set to manual and got it working now!

    Dell's Engineers had told me that the design of  XPS 13 with Core i7 has not the option to set a custom limit in the Power manager. They told me I have to accept that. However soon after that my Laptop broke down, because of a Motherboard & Adaptor failure. I received a new one. It has the same configuration. So all in all its the same Laptop.

    Surprise, surprise... Now it is working perfectly

    Search bar => type and select "Services" => Right click on Dell.CommandPowerManager.Service => Properties => Set Startup type to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" = > Apply.

    Uninstalling the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" driver in the device manager solved the problem for me.

    Guys, this is a PROBLEM!

    You are literally robbing us by killing our battery??!?!??!!?

    Dell XPS 13 9360 here!
    BIOS as well as Dell Power Manager is totally USELESS!

    My battery is always %100!

    i will never buy a Dell device again.
