    Anyone know a program to get all the small info from the battery?
    I like to know the full capacity when new and what the capacity is now.How maney charge cycles on it.All that stuff.

    It's for a Dell D820

    I am not sure how Vista calculates the capacity of the battery. Because for me the Time remaining just fluctuates wildly from 1.5 hours to 3.5 hours as soon as I put the system on battery.

    It doesnt make much of a difference to me since I use the system on AC power mostly.
