Hi everyone!

I own a Toshiba Satellite laptop and for a good while now a red X has been displayed over the battery symbol with a message "Consider Replacing Your Battery" . I know that message from windows is direct but from researching online, There has been ways to get rid of the red X and that sometimes the battery isn't as bad as it seems.

I am starting to think my battery is going to need replacement as I have it 5-6 years..I also ran "powercfg -energy -output c:\energy-report.html" in CMD. I have included the results in picture below.

Would I be better off to just replace the battery with a new one?
Is the battery basically useless now?

Thank you in advance..
