Hi,

1) design capacity is said to be 5.376Ah, but written directly on the
battery is 7.7V, 41Wh (=~5.324Ah) and nominal 5350mAh. While small, the
battery is being overcharged to 5.376Ah (101%). Is there a way to
correct the design capacity to 5.324Ah, and force the machine to keep
the charge no higher than 5.324Ah?
if the battery is not original HP but some replacement, those values are
just approximate and can be about anything. I have used many
"compatible" batteries and about anything is possible with those values.
On my HP with "compatible" battery I get:
Current CritMax WarnMax WarnMin CritMin Unit
present: TRUE
design voltage: 10.800 V
voltage: 10.602 V
design cap: 4.144 Ah
last full cap: 4.144 Ah
charge: 4.125 5.019% 1.014% Ah
(99.54%)
charge rate: N/A
discharge rate: N/A
charging: FALSE
design cap = last full cap here, which for a battery that has a year or
so is absurd. In my case, the design capacity is decreasing, so that it
is the same as last charge, so the battery looks always "like new" but
is actually decreasing.
A pity we don't get cycle count here, I have seen batteries always
saying 1 or so...
