Product introduced last part of 2017.

Battery is aging (no longer new).

Battery not charging beyond 95% >

This is expected and normal behavior in a "not new" battery.

Regardless, you can fuss with it (test, calibrate, check) to be sure the battery is "OK".

If you need or wish to do so, you can replace the battery.
