You need to run battery calibration. Exact method depends on brand and model. Should be in your User Guide. Google "laptop battery calibration."

Battery calibration is something of an anachronism.

So is the need to test the battery. Like I said, it really depends on what make and model of laptop and what OS. For example, if you have a Dell, then this may apply: http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN143156/EN

Google is your friend!

Charge it fully and discharge it down to 15% run this test few times. For longevity do not let battery discharge past 15%.

the best is the chips on the lenovo batteries and their power manager will tell you cycles and start date, you can also calibrate them.

How does one put Lenovo batteries in a Asus notebook? <LOL> (Note 6)

Otherwise, I agree. That's how I check mine on my T510.
