How To Check Battery Health Report And Energy Report In Windows 10 Using CMD
The existence of batteries has played a significant role in the development of portable computers like laptops and notebooks. If we set aside Macbooks, a standard Windows notebook comes with a battery backup of around 6 to 7 hours on an average. However, some of the high-priced ones have enough juice to entertain you for 11 to 12 hours on a single charge.
These batteries, mostly lithium-ion type, decrease in capacity over time. It is entirely possible that a new laptop that can run for 6 hours on the battery may provide only 2 hours of juice after a couple of years of usage.
You can’t stop the battery decay process because it’s a natural phenomenon, but you can check battery health on your laptop from time to time. This would help you know when it is the right time to purchase a new one.
Windows keeps an account of battery-related data like its original specifications, designed capacity, current capacity, etc. It also maintains updated information about battery usage sessions. A command line utility known as POWERCFG allows you to access this data in a well-organized manner.
So, here is a method which involves the use of Windows CMD to check battery health and generate Energy Report. You can also generate the Battery Health Report which shows the charging cycles and performance of your battery over the course of time.
