Fixes for BatteryInfoView and laptop battery reading problems.
An antivirus warning on a small downloaded utility puts you in an awkward spot: ignore a warning you should heed, or lose a tool you legitimately need? For BatteryInfoView — the portable battery viewer by Nir Sofer (NirSoft), current version 1.27 — there is a calm, evidence-based way through it. You do not need to…
If your laptop runs Windows 10, BatteryInfoView works on it — fully and officially. The tool, by Nir Sofer (NirSoft) and currently at version 1.27, officially supports “any version of Windows, starting from Windows 2000 and up to Windows 11”, which puts Windows 10 squarely in the middle of its range.

In most cases BatteryInfoView (NirSoft, version 1.27) is simply displaying the values the battery itself reports to Windows. The tool does not measure capacity with its…
