cajunjon asks: "I'm working on a project involving testing various laptops and their battery life and I'm trying to find a Win32 application that will accurately read the full voltage, charge capacity, cycle count, wear life and rated capacity information from the laptops of various manufacturers. Any suggestions?"

Are you going to answer their question? Or are you going to bitch about people on Ask Slashdot.

Contribute, then you can complain. :)

How about BatteryMon:
(http://www.passmark.com/products/bat mon.htm)

"Windows program that allows the monitoring of laptop computer batteries and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Graphically see the battery charge / discharge rate, diagnose problem battery cells, compare your batteries performance with expected discharge rates and see the status of each individual battery pack (when multiple batteries are in use). More than 20 statistics are provided including voltage, chemistry and capacity."
