Battery Health

Just wondering which program we all use to check our laptop battery health, there was a nice program that I used to use on my old MacBook but since buying a Dell at the start of the year I haven't really looked into this. Sorry if it's a repost, I did search for "battery" in the useful freeware thread.

I just go by the Windows 7 battery monitor. Can't see any 3rd party software doing a better job tbh.

Don't all modern Dell's tell you the battery health in BIOS > Battery Information?

Haven't checked in the BIOS, just wondered if there was a program that tells you how many cycles the battery has gone through, how much of the original capacity has been lost etc.
