Hey Scott! I have seen battery and charging circuit get out of sync. Shutdown the laptop, unplug the laptop, remove the battery. Plug in laptop, turn on laptop finally replace battery. Charging may resume. Sometimes just pulling and replacing the battery with a fully booted system also does it or some magic combination.
