sounds as if the battery needs to recalibrate itself. Try running on
battery power for 15-30 minutes and then plug it in again and it should
reach full charge.

Between the time the time I originally sent the email and now the battery status had not changed.  It still says 97.3% charged.  I am now running on battery.  I'll let it run for a while, as you suggest, and then plug the AC back in.

Thanks,
Paolo
