Overview
If you're using a laptop or a tablet that runs on Windows 11, knowing the status of your battery can be important. Fortunately, Windows 11 has a built-in tool that allows you to generate a detailed battery report, which can help you keep track of your battery's health and performance. In this article, we'll show you how to get a detailed battery report in Windows 11.
Step 1: Open the Command Prompt as an administrator
To get started, you'll need to open the Command Prompt as an
administrator. You can do this by right-clicking on the Start button and
selecting "Windows PowerShell (Admin)" or "Command Prompt
(Admin)".
Step 2: Generate the Battery Report
Once you have the Command Prompt open, type the following
command and hit Enter:
powercfg /batteryreport
This command will generate a detailed battery report and
save it to your computer's default download folder, which is usually located in
your user folder.
Step 3: Open the Battery Report
To open the battery report, go to your default download
folder and look for a file named "battery-report.html". Double-click
on this file to open it in your default web browser.
Step 4: Review the Battery Report
The battery report provides a wealth of information about
your battery, including its design capacity, full charge capacity, and cycle
count. It also shows you how much time your battery has been used since your
last full charge and estimates how much longer your battery will last be based on
your current usage.
In addition, the battery report provides information about
your battery's health and performance, including any errors or warnings that
have been recorded. This can be particularly helpful if you're experiencing
issues with your battery, as it can help you identify the source of the
problem.
Conclusion
In summary, getting a detailed battery report in Windows 11
is a straightforward process that can provide you with valuable information
about your battery's health and performance. By reviewing this report
periodically, you can keep track of your battery's status and take any
necessary steps to maintain its health and prolong its lifespan.
