This happen after i did not use my battery for 2 weeks. What should i do ? I have uninstalled the battery manager but still not working. When i plugged in the adapter the battery light wont lighting as usual but it shows that 81 percent available (plugged in , not charging)

Sounds like a bad battery. Did you try leaving it charging overnight? There may be a battery reset option in the power manager software, try running that.
