Just recently purchased my laptop with a habit of it being charged while using it but I always unplug it whenever it reach 100%. This time I just finished playing some games like call of duty then decided to turn off the laptop with 25% battery in it and plug it in overnight but when I woke up I still see the red light indicating that the laptop is still not fully charge so I decided to turn it on and the battery is still 25% then I notice that it only started to take charge when i turned on the laptop. Could this be an issue with the charger or battery?

You can run Diagnostics to test components. Immediately after powering on start tapping the Esc key. This will open a menu where F2 System Diagnostics is an option. Tap F2 key and look for Component tests. I would test battery,charger and systemboard.
If all tests pass I would do a power reset to see if that changes anything. You could just do this first.

Appreciate your quick response, but here's what I did. I reinstalled the battery driver from device manager and tried to charge it in OFF status for about 2 hours and it took a charge, thanks for the other methods you have provided as well.
