    I just recently bought an msi u123 of ebay, when i got it i installed hwmonitor and under the battery section it shows the battery charge lvl, but it also shows something that says wear level when i got it it was at 7% and i didnt think it meant any thing but now it is at 8%? really wondering what this is cause i have only moderatly used it since i got it about 4 days ago. If a picture is needed to better understand what im talking about just let me know and ill up load one.

    Thanks a lot.

    It shows the designed capacity 57720. but the full charge now is 53347.
    How long until it barely lasts?

    i need to go so i wasnt able to post another picture, and its at about 94% says full charge is about 5:15 which is estamating since its not 100%,

    any info about this would be great. cause if i need to get another battery i need to talk to the seller on ebay asap thank you so much for your reply

    Batteries do wear out over time. Mine is worse than yours at 11% wear level.
