Solution
Method One
Many systems support power management programs that can either extend the run time of the battery or extend the life of the battery. The 60% available (plugged in, not charging) message indicates that this sort of setting may be enabled. Under this setting, the battery does not charge to 100% when connected to an AC adapter in order to preserve the battery’s life.

Note:
- If Conservation Mode is turned off and the AC adapter is added when the battery capacity drops from 100% but is still more than 95% (95% - 100%), the battery will not start charging. This is not a bug. It is due to the battery charge self-protection feature. This works by design.
Method Two
- Go to Lenovo support website to download and install the latest BIOS. Reboot the PC and try again. If the problem persists, go to the next step.
- Shut down the computer.
- With the battery in (remove the AC adapter), attempt to turn on the computer by holding down the power button for 30 seconds. This should not turn on the computer.
- Remove the battery (if the battery is not detachable, skip this step).
- Again, attempt to turn on the computer (AC adapter is not plugged in) by holding down the power button for 30 seconds. This should not turn on the computer either.
- Re-attach the battery, plug in the AC adapter, and turn on the computer. The battery should begin charging.
