Battery degredation

Any one know how many charges we can expect out of these batteries, or a good way to test their health?

I'm on the extended battery - charge it often, and have it connected to an AC outlet while it works as a wireless hotspot for good chunks of time. When I first got my extended battery I was getting 14 hours most days, 12 on heavy usage days. Now I'm down to 10/8 hours. It pretty much fell off a cliff over the course of a week, so I don't think it's a battery problem but I'm stumped and would at least like to try and rule it out.
