You may use the general steps provided below to calibrate the notebook's battery

2.Once inside the Windows, right clicking on the Windows icon on the taskbar and select Device Manager.
3.Go to the "Battery" category, click the arrow icon then right click on "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" and uninstall the driver.
4.Shutdown the unit after uninstalling the driver and unplug the power adapter.
5.Plug in back the battery into the unit and power up just using the battery.
6.Drain out the battery and then charge up the battery to see whether the battery can fully charge up to 100%.
Thanks, seems like quite tedious to do. Few questions.Battery Calibration :

Do I have to run down the battery until 0%?
What is the disadvantage of not calibrating the battery? Is it just inaccurate battery % reading? (I almost 95% of time will plug in the power adapter though).
Do I really need to perform this on monthly basis?
Would this improve the battery life in long run?
