Looking for a specific feature on a laptop..

My current laptop was purchased refurbished about a year ago for $400 due to the inexpensive price.. What was not known at the time of purchase was the health of the internal battery. Since it is refurbished i figured it would have a relatively good battery health rating. Well, turns out the battery is on its last legs. With the battery health showing it can only store 9.4% of it's original full charge capacity. I know nothing on where to get Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd Gen laptop batteries, or if they still even have them available. 

 

What i want to know is are there other laptops from different brands that have the ability to show the battery health rating in the settings of said laptop or the bios or something? 

 

I will be getting a new laptop soon for sure, but before i do anything i need to know if that specific feature is present on other laptops.. 

 

What are some brands out in the market that you would recommend?
