I have a Compaq pressario 2568ap
My laptop if you hit f6 on starting up has smart battery auto learning.
It says (max. capacity before learning: -8062mAH). Question is if i running it a couple of time readings get higher is that good or bad. Did it twice today and its gone up to -9342mAH

It probably has to do with the battery getting warm. On first start when the battery is cold, it will show a reading different than after time when the battery warms up. The warmer it gets, the higher the reading will be. There is probably a similar explaination in the manual like "wait 30 min before taking a reading", this would indicate to get an accurate reading, the battery needs to be in use for a little. If your uising external power the battery would warm up from charging.
