It's normal for it to stop charging between 93% and 99%. Read the CHARGING section of the following link for details. This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions:
thats normal for the first few charges. Had the same results with my 13inch but after about 5 cycles the battery was fully charged to 100% nothing to worry about
I know exactly what you are saying, I had a similar thread before.
You must have your laptop plugged in all the time. Once you take the charger off, use some battery, recharge it again, it will go back to 100%.
It worked for me, try it, let me know if it works.
I unplugged laptop, then it was charged to 100%. I kept my mba plugged in ever since i saw 100%, now its dropped to 98%. I never unplugged it. Is this normal?

yup..also while the MBA battery doesn't need calibration like the older ones, you should still use it on battery every once in a while
When the lift on the charger goes green and the Macbook Air is charged the battery will stop charging. Therefor like any battery it will naturally loose charge a little bit over time.
meh
nothing to worry about. this is actually a safety measure so your macbook won't melt due to heat caused by overcharging.
