Hello Sp4rk.

 

Modern laptops are designed to stop charging at 100% and only use the adapter's power to run the system. They then allow for the battery to slowly discharge until it reaches roughly 95-94% at which point they again charge the battery. This ensures that the battery is protected from overcharging and increases its lifetime. Generally speaking, however, it is a good idea to actually drain the battery once in a while by using the laptop without the charger plugged in.
