How to check your computer’s battery health status in Windows 10 or Windows 11?
Nowadays, laptops use built-in batteries which cannot be replaced easily. If you want to replace the battery, you have to open the back cover of your laptop.
In fact, Windows 10 and Windows 11 have a battery health report feature that allows users to know the battery health status of their laptops. You just need to use some simple commands to generate an HTML file that will give you a clear picture of the battery usage, capacity history, life expectancy, etc.
In this report there is a Battery capacity history section. Full Charge Capacity is the amount of power your computer has when it is fully charged, while Design Capacity is the battery capacity when the battery is shipped. If you find that the Full Charge Capacity is much lower than the Design Capacity, then your battery has failed.
Step 1: Search for CMD on your computer and right click Run as Administrator.
Step 2: Paste powercfg /batteryreport /output “C:\battery-report.html” and type Enter.
Step 3: You will receive a reply with Battery life report saved to C:\battery-report.html.
Step 4: Open the C drive of your computer and find a file named battery-report.
Step 5: Open battery-report.
Step 6: There is a Battery capacity history section in the file, you can check the Full Charge Capacity and Design Capacity.
Step 7: If the Full Charge Capacity is much lower than the Design Capacity, then your battery is malfunctioning.
