Hello boston056,
Thanks for reaching out through the Apple Support Communities about that situation with the settings for your battery.
Does that still persist after disconnecting your power adapter, restarting your MacBook Pro, and reconnecting the power adapter?
How about if you reset the System Management Controller (SMC) using the steps from the following article? How to reset the SMC of your Mac The SMC handles power and battery related features, so a reset may help with that behavior.
Take care.
Try this: Go to SystemPreferences, Security and Privacy and unlock the padlock. Click on Advanced and select "Require an adminstrator password to access system-wide preferences". Click on OK.
If you go Battery now, and unlock the padlock, are you able to change the settings?
