I'm trying to understand that section on HWMonitor about my battery of my laptop, as it is showing 3 different values, with only one battery can anyone clear this up a little bit for me.

 

Laptop spec in my signature (Cosmos III) from pc specialist.

I think the designed is how much the battery could store when brand new, the full charge is how much it can hold in its current condition, and the current is how much is left? I think?

You're right. Designed is what it is rated to hold and held brand new, full is how much charge it holds at 100% at current wear levels, and current is how much is left
