This is did not happen before; I am not sure right now what caused this (i.e. battery aging or some software change) nor whether this is kernel/HAL/kpowersave issue.

kpowersave is stuck at assuming battery is loading and at 94%. Sysfs displays battery state as Full:

Frequent battery charging shortens lifetime of the battery, so some (may be all now)
notebook manufacturers do not start charging battery until it discharge to some degree (~90%).
It could be your case. Please try to discharge battery to, say, 89% and then check if it charges to the
100%.
- does ACPI battery code misuse POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_ENERGY_FULL?
- does HAL misuse .../energy_full?
- does kpowersave misuse battery.charge_level.last_full?
