Remove the battery and get it tested or wait and see if the maintainer recovers and reads 90 again.

Leave it overnight and see what it says in the morning. Sometimes it takes a while as maintainers do not charge very fast.

I guess I panicked just checked it and it's at 90 but I just wanted to check because I've had a low battery burn up a stator before
