Concerning my laptop's battery life.

[nathanstrainrocks]

I have acquired and set up an old hp laptop. I went into the command prompt and generated a battery report. as the laptop always says it is at 100% and never has a calculation. Can I trust the report? Is it time for a new battery? Thanks- Nathan Battery report is linked below.

Hi, surely you need a new battery, it's charged at 100%, but you have only 1,436mWh now from the 47,520mWh when it was new. So you have 97% wear on the battery, and you have only 3% from the battery to used.

I've Been doing some shopping and I can't seem to find any hp brand batteries. I'm worried about using a 3rd party battery because of what i have read. Any advice?
