T60 battery discharges when plugged in

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hi all,

I'm having a strange issue with a T60 battery. The user reported that the battery was slowly discharging over the course of the day while the laptop was plugged in. Switching to a known good battery and AC adapter did not solve the issue. During testing I noticed some strange behavior, in that the battery will continue to charge even after it has charged to 100%. It will then very slowly begin discharging. I left the laptop on and plugged in overnight at 98% and when I came back this morning the battery was at 50%. But once I unplug the AC adapter and wait for the battery status to go from "charging" to "discharging", then plug it back in the battery meter goes back to 100% after about ten seconds. Then the whole process repeats itself. I replaced the system board but that didn't solve the issue either. I've run out of things to try, hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance!

What's the condition of the battery itself? Have you tried swapping batteries to see if the problem is battery related or system board related?
