    Hi everyone. This is my first post. I use HP Battery Check a lot and I found out that every time I run the battery check, I get a slightly different reading.

    For example,

    First run = Full charge capacity is 4866
    Second run = Full charge capacity is 4663
    Third run = Full charge capacity is 4921
    Fourth run = Full charge capacity is 4567

    Is this normal? Does the same thing happen in other laptops??
    Thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply :)

    Really? So its normal to fluctuate ? Most of the time my Full charge capacity is at 95% but sometimes it goes down to 94%. Once it went down to 92%! But after a few full cycles it goes back to 95%. I thought my battery was faulty.

    Does your Full charge capacity % change every time you charge it?

    Yes, but it never go over 4% of total capacity. Usually between 2.5% to 3.5%
