Laptop battery test

Sometimes the HP battery check indicates that the battery is good but the laptop doesn't stay powered long.
More testing might include the following:
1)try out a known good battery and see if it solves the issue
, 2)test to see if the laptop turns off when it's plugged in, 3) record what the battery meter is displaying in the Taskbar

Reason for these tests:
To see if there is a problem w the AC adapter overloading the battery
OR
To see if the mother board is going bad and affecting the battery
