My Thinkpad is 6¼ years old and the batteries it shipped with are at 72 and 75 % of their original capacity. But I didn’t use them *that* much, and always kept them betweet 40 and 80 % charge when I didn’t need them, which is probably 98 % of the year. > 1 year is pretty short but possibly he might buy a new battery as > a test. They generally aren't overly expensive. I don’t believe that they went down to 25 % of their original capacity within a year. To achieve that, they must have endured unspeakable abuse. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
