I have a simple question about laptop batteries. I have a used battery which shows all green leds on the case lit up and charges all the way up. When I run the laptop off the battery, it discharges slowly (at a normal rate) for about 2-5 minutes, then it discharges rapidly all the way down in about 10 minutes. I've also noticed that when it is fully charged, Battermon shows it as 138% charged, not 100% charged. And the actual capacity when charged is about half of the potential capacity.
So I was just wondering if this indicates a bad/spent battery? I suppose the things that confused me the most were the different rates of discharge and the 138% charge.
Appreciate your help!
