This is an optional step. This step can be skipped when users don't want to know the battery status or don't have the software.

Check the "cycle times" by battery software.

Suggested software: (1) BatteryInfoView, (2) BatteryMon.

For example: BatteryInfoView shows that "Number of charge/discharge cycles" is 0 (red box), indicating that the laptop treats the battery as a new one.
