MacBook only charging to 99%

[Peachiihime]

This is really weird! I put my MacBook to charge earlier, and the Magsafe has the green fully charged light, but the menu bar says it's fully charged at 99%?
I don't get it. Any advice would be appreciated since I'm a total n00b.

It's very common with laptop batteries. I've seen this on many computers before and it's normal.

It's working as designed. Read the section on CHARGING in the link below.

Thank you
It eventually went to 100% about 1-2 hours later. The capacity of the battery was 100% earlier today also but it went to 99% after it finished the cycle. Oh well.

Make sure your battery is properly calibrated, so your battery health readings are accurate.
