Assessing T40 battery health...

#1 Post by raisindot » Thu Dec 30, 2004 8:27 am

I've been seeing a number of threads referring to "battery health" and "lost capacity," etc. and was wondering how I can find this information out on my own battery.

I've upgraded to the latest version of Battery Miser for my T40 but there doesn't seem to be anywhere within it that can show me how many times the battery has been discharged, or how much capacity it may have lost, or any other way to gauge its general "health." The only battery information page that I see simply lists the brand name and the part number.

Is there something very obvious I am missing or do T41 and T42 owners have a more advanced version of battery management?
