How do I check my laptop battery's health?

It should work irrespective of OS. If you dell, hp etc, you can google how to check for your lappy model.

Yeah, I already googled it and it just confused me. But I'll still try it when I'm done using my laptop today

Do you mean I should see a light on the outside of the battery? If so, mine does not have a light like that

@hiddenkitty: mine has a raised bubble and when pushed the LED's show up

Okay. Is it on the outside of the battery, or do I have to take the battery out to see that light?

Yes, it used to be 3 hours or so. I really can't remember what the battery life was like when I first got it.

@hiddenkitty: sounds like it's going out; it'll be time for a new one soon or limp along for a while till it's time for a whole computer.

Computers can be so expensive. I want to make it last aslong as possible, especially since my phone is also showing signs of aging. But I do plan buy a replacement battery at the very least

What is your battery doing that you are checking the health exactly? Depending on its age, it's probably just time for a new one.

Yesterday, my laptop started showing me a sign that says "Consider replacing your battery." I turned on my laptop today, and that sign along with a white X in a red circle, and these signs are not going away. And yeah, I'll probably end up getting a new battery for it soon

I'm planning on getting a new laptop battery since that's a lot cheaper than a laptop. But a website said I can check my battery's lifespan to know for sure if my battery will die soon
