Windows 10 notebooks have a Battery Report feature that breaks down whether your laptop computer battery is still kicking or is on its last legs. With a few simple commands, you can generate an HTML file with battery usage data, capacity history, and life estimates. If your original notebook battery needs to be replaced with AussieBatt premium quality replacement laptop batteries, this report will tell you, long before it has a chance to fail.
Generate Laptop Battery Report in PowerShell
Windows PowerShell is a built-in command line tool, the easiest way to access it is to right-click on the Start icon and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) from the menu that appears. A pop-up window may ask for permission to make changes to your laptop; say yes.
The blue PowerShell command window will appear, allowing you to enter commands to automate certain tasks within Windows 10. Type or paste powercfg /batteryreport /output “C:\battery-report.html” into the window and press Enter to run the command. PowerShell will then tell you the name of the generated laptop battery life report HTML file and where it has been saved on your computer. In this case, it is called battery-report.html.
Open Windows File Explorer and access the C drive. There you should find the battery life report saved as an HTML file. Double-click the file to open it in your preferred web browser. The report will outline the health of your laptop battery, how well it has been doing, and how much longer it might last. At the top of the Battery Report, you will see basic information about your computer, followed by the battery’s specs.
