You probably know that the manufacturer of the notebook claims that it would last for a certain time but you don’t know if you can believe the figures ? Battery Eater Pro is a freeware utility that tests the battery of a notebook in certain modes and displays accurate information about battery life.

Just download and unzip Battery Eater Pro to your hard drive. A great thing about the software is that it does not need installation, so no tampering with your system at all. Once you started Battery Eater Pro it will wait until the battery is fully loaded. Once this is done you can start the test by pressing SHIFT + F3. (disconnect the power plug before you do that)

The test will run until the notebook runs out of power and powers off. Connect the notebook to a power source and Battery Eater Pro will load automatically at startup and display test results. The test results will show accurate information which might differ from the figures of the manufacturer.
