People reported 16-16.5V when on battery and 16.5-17V when on AC, so I
guess all batteries are underrated (:)) because specs are either 15V or
14.4V.
So I just buy a new battery and problem solved, but I still have no idea
why (probably) 2 cells of my battery died with no warning clues.
Thanks for the stats people.
