Um... I'm not sure what you mean by benchmarking your battery.

When I test a battery's runtime, I disable all the low battery alerts and actions, leave the power settings for always on, and just leave it idling and see how long it lasts before there's absolutely no more juice left.

There's actually an easier way... I've used a program that can automatically do that for you and log the results. I forgot what the name of that software is... I'll see if I can find it tomorrow.
