Alienware R17 battery not charging fully
My battery wont charge fully. This suddenly started, I ran diagnostics and it says the battery is fine. I even bought a new battery charger thinking my old one was defective but this is not the case.

It's not really a "battery charger", it's an AC-Adapter. If the AC-Adapter powers the computer, I think the battery itself would be a more likely culprit.
How close to 100% does it get?
Try running battery down to 10-20% (there is usually some built-in reserve anyway) before charging fully back up. See if that helps.
