[Casper] Battery Capacity?

[Ric Getter]

Brad,

If you don't mind adding a third-party tool, there's a command line
application called batterystat 1.1
(http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27793) that's pretty good at
monitoring battery conditions (including cycle counts). It provided some
helpful evidence when I was getting some bad cells from a third-party vendor
for my personal laptop.

Subject: [Casper] Battery Capacity?

 

Hello,

 

2 Questions:

 

1) In JSS, for each computer, there is a entry called "Battery Capacity" --
what exactly is this?  It shows any where from 98% - 109%





2) Is there anywhere that it collects "Cycle count" for the installed
battery?





Thanks
