Laptop battery design capacity and full charge capacity are the same?

Hey guys. I have this totally weird problem! Needed professional advice so here goes. I have an HP Dv6 notebook. I recently ran a battery test using the powercfg -energy command and the results I got were quite weird. The design capacity and the full charge capacity are exactly the same!! I tried this with 3 batteries. All the same.

 

Here's my old battery

 

Battery:Battery Information
 
Battery ID Hewlett-PackardPrimary
Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
Serial Number  
Chemistry LION
Long Term 1
Design Capacity 8986
Last Full Charge 8986

 

And heres my newest battery

 

Battery:Battery Information
 
Battery ID Hewlett-PackardPrimary
Manufacturer Hewlett-Packard
Serial Number  
Chemistry LION
Long Term 1
Design Capacity 50803
Last Full Charge 50803

 

 

This is wrong. The Full Charge capacity should be lower than the Design Capacity right?

 

Oh and my laptop's battery life keeps reducing everyday. EVERYDAY! Today I get 3 hours. Tomorrow, 2 hours and 55 minutes!  Whats going on? :(

I just checked the batteries on the nx6310 that we have here ... The Full Charge showed up the same as the Design Capacity winknudge.gif

I am sure that it is not right, but on some HP models it just saus so

cheers ...

They SHOULD be the same. They just usually aren't. You've got batteries that are exactly to spec! smile.gif
