I tried messing with the registry settings that control the battery refresh but it did not seem to make a difference.
Strangely, if you do not select a battery icon in build os, the meter functions fine although the missing cab error prevents customizations and auto config from running completely.

I also have a similar problem. Only, it's both ways. Sometimes it doesn't charge when it's plugged into the charger. Last time, I had to do a soft reset to get it to charge the 5% battery. Other times, like you, it registers it's being charged even after it's been removed. Other times, it's stopped charging before it's fully charged. However, I (personally) have considered this a hardware issue. I believe that there is a temperature sensor in there someplace that will stop the charging cycle if the battery gets too hot (or the temperature sensor (wherever it is) trips like a circuit breaker. I have also noticed that even in normal operation, sometimes the case feels hot. If I am correct, that warm case could possibly "trip" the breaker, preventing it from charging. I could be wrong....there could be some software connection between the two....
But now you have my two cents worth (that's probably only worth about one cent)
