Solved! Laptop battery capacity reductions

[adamchrissy]

Hi,
using the battery bar app with my newly purchased - second hand (ebay seller refurbished) windows 10 laptop it is showing that my battery has wear of about 25%, the original capacity being 55Wh with current capacity reduced to of about 41Wh - (although software like battery bar is not always accurate as the capacity has reduced by this much does it mean its failing and capacity will continue to reduce sooner rather than later and soon not hold any charge at all - or could it still deliver the 41Wh capacity for a while longer (months or years!?)

Thanks
Adam

No way to know, batteries slowly fail, all of them. No way to tell how long your battery has. Use it and see.
