    Just noticed this in the BIOS for "Battery Health" on my E1505.

    A BIOS update might correct it. (If the error bothers you)

    Yes, I'm aware of that. It doesn't bother me. I just thought it was kinda funny. IDK what BIOS version I'm running, but I'm sure it's one of the most recent updates. Funny that a simple typo would slip through the cracks for so many BIOS releases.

    Only reason I found this is b/c my battery light is blinking orange 3 times fast and then green. Machine is 2.5 years old or so, so I figured the battery was gone, but according to the BIOS its functioning normally, although i'm "at the end of the battery's life, so I should CONCIDER purchasing a new one".

    You can monitor/get the Battery Info in RMClock or NHC.
