Difference between charging icons - does it mean anything?
Sometimes I see this:
instead of this:
is there a difference? do they mean different things? One is filled in dark, the other is more transparent - the battery/charge icon..
Solution 1:
Empty battery icon with lightning bolt means the device is plugged-in and using power but the battery is not charging. Your Mac is using power directly from the cord.
Full battery icon with lightning bolt means the device is plugged-in and the battery is charging. Your Mac can use power from both the cord and battery.
