Anyone know of a utility, either buried in the depths of Windows or a 3rd party app, that can read and display all available data from a 'smart' laptop battery pack?
I know the battery 'fuel gauge' info typically comes out via this data bus, and I suspect there's a lot more available such as perhaps number of charge cycles, max depth of discharge, build date, etc etc.
I'm nerd enough to think it would be cool to know this stuff, plus I recently purchased a 'new' battery that I'd like to, um, know a bit more about.
Brief Google has turned up something called BatteryScope, but not on the kinds of sites I'd want to download anything from.
Any suggestions from the technoids here would be appreciated!
