Wrong battery percentage

Hello Guys,

I would like to ask you maybe somebody have similar problem to me and  know some solution.

I have a dell alienware 14 r4 and I have problem with battery value. When I have 0% my laptop still working and it can works next a few minutes. I don't have a problem that I need super correct indications but I'm a little afraid that I will charge my battery too ofen what will affect short battery life. Do you have some idea what I can do with it?

Most advice is to not let a battery regularly fully discharge.  So if it's saying 0%, even if it's not perfectly accurate, *plug it in*.

I agree with you, Li-Ion batteries shouldn't be fully discharge or all time charged fully.

I just like when everything what I'm using is working correctly this is more important for me and this is reason why I wrote this topic
