Hi,
The battery icon on the lower right is orange indicating it is getting very low, but the pop-up shows 25-hours left.
It is plugged into the power, charging and when I dual-boot back to win10, it shows 87% and 18-minutes to full charge.
Is this because I have Mint 20.1 in a Ryzen 5, 4500 laptop or what?
How can I get it to read correctly?
Thanks

The few times over the years I have asked for help and after doing the "inxi" thing I never got any help after spending the time to do that.
The laptop in question has no Internet access so I have to type in the stuff by looking at VNC screen. Can you be specific on what you need?
It's now even crazier.

It's could be due to that, but we don't know your kernel version, which is what the information you've been asked to post will tell us. You should be using kernel 5.8 or 5.11.

Almost sounds like the powersupply isn't supplying sufficient wattage to both charge the battery and run the PC ... so the deficit is being made up by the battery.
