Win10 tip: check the detailed report of your laptop battery

Batteries power our favorite electronic devices, but they don’t last forever. The good news is that Windows 10 laptops have a “battery report” function, which can determine whether your battery is still running out or not. With some simple commands, you can generate an HTML file containing battery usage data, capacity history, and life estimation. If it needs to be replaced, this report will tell you a long time ago whether the Windows 10 battery reporting function will damage your battery or whether it is still kicking or stopping at the last stop. This is the way to monitor the battery life of your laptop.

Battery capacity history
The battery capacity history section shows that the capacity changes over time. On the right is the “design capacity”, that is, the amount of battery designed to be processed. On the left side, you can see the current full capacity of the laptop battery. If you use the device more times, the power may decline over time.

Battery life estimation
This brings us to the “Battery Life Estimation” section. On the right side, you will check how long it should last according to the design capacity; On the left, you can see how long it actually lasted. The current final battery life estimate is at the bottom of the report. In this case, my computer will use 6:02:03 at the designed capacity, but it still supports 4:52:44.
