[PLUG-TALK] Testing Notebook Batteries

[Rich Shepard]

   The battery on my Sony Vaio seems to discharge much too quickly. I bought
a replacement battery (it's been about 3 years since I bought the unit), but
I wonder if the old battery is worth keeping as an extra one.

   Is there a way to test both the discharge rate and compare that with what
the rate should be?
