I'm not the smartest person when it comes to topics other than sales or baseball, but my take is that when plugged in, it will remain 80% charged until I need it to run on battery, at which time it will obviously begin draining - to less than 80%. This suggests that it will never charge to 100%! It's not intuitive and takes some decoding.
