This is weird... It's better to contact the store or laptop manufacturer.
It seems to be a hardware problem.

Anyway, try to discharge it and recharge again your laptop.

For accurate measurement, a laptop need to be discharge and re-charge upto
100% at least once a month.

This is the first sentence in the article you reference:

"A Lithium-ion battery provides 300-500 discharge/charge cycles. The
battery prefers a PARTIAL charge rather than a FULL Discharge. Because
of this, frequent full discharges should be AVOIDED as much as
possible because it will lessen the life of the battery."

Kinda shot yourself in the foot on the "discharge and re-charge"
advice, huh?

Also, Don't leave your laptop plug in the computer everyday,
It will speed up the aging of your battery. you can keep it at least 40%
then store the battery.

Hi, I am new to laptops and Vista (got an old pc running on ZP). When I am
connected to the mains supply the battery icon in the trayer says "63%
available (plugged in not charging). Is this normal to only have 63%
battery? Especially when I am plugged in to the mains. I would have thought
it should go to 100%?

confused?!!
