14.04 - Laptop Battery Indicator does not show the right battery percentage

Despite my battery is full; the battery indicator shows it as '98%'. When I click on it it says "Battery(charged)". Is this a bug? And how can I resolve this issue?

psi. My laptop is new & I do not have any issues with MS Windows.

I do not think that it is a bug. The Linux kernel will not charge the device when it is almost full to preserve the battery. It will only start charging again when it is below 90 % or so. It will only go to 100 % when it is charging from less than say 90 %.
