[SgtSpiderMan]

How do I know if my laptop is charging? How much energy it has and stuff like that?

In Windows you can go to Control Panel and under Power Settings you can see, and you may have an icon in your start up tray, mine does

Start> Control Panel> (Performance and Maint. if you're in Category View)> Power Options> Advanced Tab> Check the 'Always on Taskbar' box> Click Apply, then OK

If it doesn't show up on your taskbar (by your clock) as either a plug or a battery, then you may have to go through the steps once or twice more. At least I did when my icon disappeared the other night after I rebooted.
