Battery charging… charged… charging… charged… charging… charged…

Hej dudes, I got some strange behavior on my ThinkPad Edge 13" (AMD).
Shortly before the battery is fully charged, the status changes seemingly second by second.

cat /var/log/everything.log

It sucks a lot but I still have no idea from where it comes.

Possible hardware issue. I had this once on my dell.

Re: Battery charging… charged… charging… charged… charging… charged…

Sometimes my computer doesn't like it when I switch batteries (Thinkpad E430), and will stop charging at some random point.  I can reset whatever is holding it up (presumably the cmos) by shutting down the computer and removing the battery.  Then holding down the power button for some time, and then either just putting it back in, or sometimes by using the power cord to power back up, and then putting the battery back in while running.  Not sure if your situation is at all the same... I have never actually looked at my logs since I found something of a solution.  Needless to say, I try not to change batteries very often if ever.
