False(?) battery warning on NP550P5C

I've started getting a strange Chinglish notice from Easy Display Manager saying something like "your battery life is not the longer." The computer is three years old, but I always run plugged in, and use the 80% charging level. The battery works fine. It charges to 100%, and I ran it on battery for several hours just to test it, and it still had plenty of juice.
Is this just a time thing based on Samsung's assumptions about battery life? If so, is there a way to turn off these false notices? I found a file called EDM-BatteryWarning.exe. Does the evil lie there?

 

What does BatteryInfoView have to say about your battery? That will show if there is cause for concern - 3 year old batteries of oten well past their best although recent ones last better than 5-10 years ago. If in doubt post a screen dump )Alt-Fn-PrtSc) of the BatteryInfoView screen.

I haven't heard of EDM-BatteryWarning.exe before. There are various ways of stopping it. first check if it is running as a service. If so, disable it. Another, more extreme measure, is to rename it so whatever is loading won't be able to find it.

Sorry, but you have to tell me where to find BatteryInfoView. I've never seen it.

Edit: Ok, I found it online. I'll try to attach a jpeg screen capture. It doesn't really show much, but I don't see anything that tells me the battery needs to be replaced now, or anything that warrants the Samsung nag.

 

Put the name in your favorite search engine and it should lead you here.

I found it, and edited my previous reply to include the results. So if you could please look at that post.....

 

Those results look good for a 3 year old battery (about 20% reduction in capacity).

However, if you have never done so, then it would be advisable to run the battery calibration in the BIOS. First fully charge the battery (disable battery life extender if enabled); then you can run on battery in Windows until Windows shuts down due to low battery; then go into the BIOS, select the Battery Calibration and run it to fully drain the battery; then plug in the PSU and let the battery fully charge (you can use the computer while this is being done); then check the battery condition again using BatteryInfoView and re-enable Battery Life Extender.

I did the battery calibration when the nags first started. It had no effect. So I have no explanation for the nags. However, I have now renamed that battery warning exe file, and so far haven't had more nags. Of course I may also miss a legitimate warning.

 

Just run BatteryInfoView from time to time to check the battery health.
