Dell Precision 5520 is about 6 - 7 years old.  The battery could be failing, hence the faulty readings.  Perform battery calibration cycle to see if it may help to restore the baseline  https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000205559/how-to-perform-a-battery-calibration-cycle-on-a-dell-laptop

It's worth noting that the computer will charge to 100%, let it drain to 95%, and then start charging again all while plugged in. You can see this in the BIOS when you have a charger connected. If the battery is above 95%, the BIOS will just say "Connected," while if it's under 95% the BIOS will say "Connected, Charging." This is expected behavior.

That being said, if this is the original battery, then it most likely needs to be replaced.
