Battery shows as 0%, but on battery report and in settings shows as 100% charged
On Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5 14AHP9, Windows 11
Have had this suddenly without any recent updates or applications installed. Battery shows as 0% in the bottom right corner, and will shut down immediately if not on AC power. However from battery report and in the power section of settings it shows as 100% charged, or having charge. There was also a period of one day where it fixed itself and went back to normal, before returning to this state.
Have tried multiple things to fix this so far including
- Full discharge and disconnecting/reconnecting the battery
- BIOS update
- Turning off power saving settings in battery
- Deleting battery drivers
Looking for any suggestions of how to proceed. Particularly confused as it worked as normal for a day, making me think perhaps it's not the battery having died? Not sure tho

Your situation with the battery showing 0% and the system shutting down immediately, despite reports indicating a full charge, is quite perplexing. Since you've already tried several troubleshooting steps—full discharge, BIOS update, disabling power-saving settings, and resetting drivers—it's important to consider other potential causes and next steps.
