I have two laptops here. One is running Vista, the other Windows 7. I need to get the specifications on the batteries in both, how do I go about that?
The reason I’m asking is that I’d like to know if they’re lithium ion or something else. Supposedly other types of batteries may have adversely affected charge capacities if left plugged in for too long.
You could use WMI and the Win32_Battery class. It has a property called
Chemistrythat has this information.UPDATE:
Actually, there is also Win32_PortableBattery, which would be more appropriate for a laptop battery. They both inherit from the CIM_Battery class.
