System tray battery message contradicts Windows and is inaccurate #14726

Description

@Gene703122

Steps to reproduce:

Issue the NVDA announce battery status command, NVDA shift b is the desktop layout command.

Actual behavior:

NVDA says "100 percent" if the level is 100 percent and then says "charging battery."
Use "Speak command keys" (NVDA+4) and speech viewer to copy and paste here.
Use braille viewer to copy and paste here.
You may additionally include an explanation.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should say what it said before, "AC power on."
Use "Speak command keys" (NVDA+4) and speech viewer to copy and paste here.
Use braille viewer to copy and paste here.
You may additionally include an explanation.
I'm not sure if this should be submitted as a bug or a feature request. At any rate, when the battery is fully charged, charging stops. If the charge drops below 100 percent, charging resumes until it reaches 100 percent. The battery is thus not overcharged. Saying charging when the battery is at one-hundred percent is factually incorrect and contradicts the information provided by Windows. The System tray icon says "fully charged, 100 percent" in Windows 10. A screen-reader shouldn't present contradictory information to the system.-->
