The battery is a critical component of any laptop, and if it begins to degrade, even the greatest Windows laptops will struggle to maintain a reasonable battery life. It may perhaps finally cease to exist entirely. As a result, it’s critical to periodically check the status of your system’s battery to identify warning signals of a damaged battery and replace it as soon as possible. Thankfully, a handy Windows 10 feature makes it easier than ever to check the status of your laptop’s battery.
In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll demonstrate how to check the battery health of your laptop.
How to check your laptop’s battery health
Here’s how you can view your device’s battery health on Windows 10:
- Right-click the Start button.
Select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
- When the blue PowerShell window appears, type or paste powercfg /batteryreport /output “C:\battery-report.html” into it.
- Press Enter.
- PowerShell will generate a battery report and save it to your computer.
- To access it, type This PC into the Windows search bar.
Left-click the This PC application that appears.
