If you’re interested in getting more technical information about your battery usage and estimated capacity, you can use the Powerfg command-line option that’s built into Windows operating system to generate a battery report.

 

  1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog, type [cmd]①, and then click [OK]②. 
  2. At the command prompt, type [powercfg /batteryreport]③, then press Enter. 
     
    The battery report will be an HTML file that’s stored in a folder on your PC. The file locations will be shown in the Command Prompt window. 
  3. Open File Explorer, go to the folder that the report was saved to, and then double-click the battery report (HTML file) to open it in your web browser④.

    • Battery health (current capacity vs. original capacity).
