Laptop battery quality test

Battery for notebook is important, a direct impact on the portability of laptops, so the battery test not only observe the appearance but also to use specialized software for testing. Some brands such as IBM, SONY are equipped with specialized software to detect the frequency of the IBM ThinkPad T60 battery charging, while the HP notebook can detecte charging times in the BIOS. Through these post-test software or BIOS, if you found the battery charged more than 3 times, then the battery is used, the user may require dealers to replace.

To the other brands can not detect the frequency of hp PB992A battery charging, we can through a special software to test - Batterymon. You need to install the software, the installation file is relatively small, only 400 KB.

Batterymon can detect the battery’s total running time (theoretical value), can detect the battery power, as well as the remaining duration, we should notice that the capacity of new Laptop battery   should not be higher than 3%.

After finish testing these projects, the following click on “information” in the “battery information”, you can detect some of the specific information of the battery.

Here you should look out the data in “design capacity” and “full charge capacity” columns are the same or not, for a new Dell Inspiron E1505 battery, the design capacity and full charge capacity should be the same. My notebook had been used over half a year, there are differences between the fully charged capacity and the design capacity is a normal phenomenon.
