With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity
gradually decreases. A frequently used older battery does not
power the computer for as long as a new battery, even when
both are fully charged.
Monitoring main battery power

trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The computer
needs this time to check the battery's remaining capacity and
perform its calculations.
