That's awesome. If accurate, my 2 1/2 year old battery is like 95% still. I've always liked Dells tool to only charge the battery to 92%, though I'm sure most other mfgr's have one too.

Cool! I'm going to test it on my old laptop which I'm pretty sure has a very old battery and report back.

the HWmonitor software from cpuid.com has a battery summary as well which shows the level of wear and the max charge in relation to the max rated charge the batter had when new.

It's light enough that I keep it running all the time on a laptop with an i7 and would on an i3 based laptop
