    Hello,

    I have E1505 and seems like I'm getting bad battery life. Is there any program that'll measure my battery life?

    Thanks

    A program like Notebook hardware control will give you an idea of the optimal capacity (i.e. designed capacity) of your battery and let you compare it to the fully charged capacity giving you an idea of the level of wear currently on your battery.

    Also RMclock will give exacly the same battery info as NHC.

    NHC Website:

    Hope that helps.
