    Poking around the internet looking for battery prices, I decided to see if there was a newer battery check tool than the one that came with Vista when I first got my HDX back in 2009, I actually did find one that was apparently put together sometime within the last month, if the Copyright date is to be believed (it reports 2011).

    It can be downloaded off here: HP Battery Health Center

    It seems somewhat accurate, and I say somewhat because my battery is "supposed" to be an 8 cell, but only comes up as 4 (or maybe I was lied to :cool: )

    And no, I'm not going to replace it now :rolleyes:

    Very neat tool. I was able to have my parents get the battery serial number on their laptop without having them "disassemble" the battery.
