Hello all!
Recently, my laptop battery died. And I have purchased a new replacement for it.
The new battery is from Amazon.
I don't want to get scammed with a low quality product, so I am curious to know how to test a battery for quality.
I want to test it to make sure it works well.
 
There should be a return timeframe. Within that period, just test it as much as you can I guess. Does it last long?

There is also a cmd command that reports battery info, powercfg /batteryreport . No idea how accurate it is though.

Actually, I tested it out. It used to die in 3 minutes when it hit 20%. That was unusual.
Plus the battery health degraded by 11% in just a few days.
So I just returned it.

I used this command. It was useful to check the data.
Thanks for the reply tho. I appreciate it.
