I have problems with batteries from time to time and think your utility is great. I have an Acer TravelMate 507DX laptop running Windows XP Pro. In June I started to have problems with the battery (lasted 3 years) and bought a new one. I am starting to have problems again.
I installed your utility and it displays that the battery is lithium ion, 15V and has a capacity of 48000 mWh. The battery case indicates lithium ion, 9.6V and 3500 mAh.
It is possible that the battery is being read incorrectly (at least the voltage) or the battery is programmed wrong. Can I override the information to correct values in your program?
If I run through the charge sequence twice (the battery gets hot) I then can get 1 hour 8 min battery life. It is still strange as the capacity drops from 75% to 5% in one 10 second sample time at the end of the discharge cycle. Would setting the voltage at 9.6 help with the indication at least?
If I recharge and let the battery set (out of the laptop) overnight, it shows 20% in the morning? Ideas?
Thank you,
CJ
