I tried this proceedure and initially the same result battery plugged in
and not charging at 48%. So I tried this method again but with a few
changes which worked:
With the laptop on and AC power cord plugged in, remove the battery (you
may have to gently tilt the laptop up or on its side), then use the
device manager to uninstall the drivers (as originally instructed).
Wait about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Replace the battery, and return the
laptop to an upright position. Use the device manager to scan for new
hardware and reinstall the drivers (as originally instructed). After
completing these step my battery tray icon indicated Battery Fully
Charged 100%
