To check battery health, Windows makes it easy. You'll just need to generate a battery health report by using Windows Terminal or Windows PowerShell, and then find the report in your system files.
Generating a battery health report by using Windows Terminal helps in pulling raw data from the system. It shows information about PC, Installed Batteries, Design Capacity and Full Charge Capacity. Upcoming sections show detailed information regarding usage history, battery capacity history and battery life estimates.
If you are still running Windows 10, the process of generating a battery report is the same as Windows 11. However, you will be using Windows PowerShell instead.
To check laptop battery health using Pure Battery Analytics, download the app from Microsoft Store. Pure Battery Analytics is an app that helps to see Laptop’s battery health. Once the app is launched, pay attention to the Quick View section. You'll see Battery Design Capacity and the Full Charge.
Low Full Charge Capacity indicates an unhealthy laptop battery. Analytics Section provides more information on how much time is remaining on the battery and how the system is using it.
Keeping tabs on laptop's battery life is just one aspect of basic maintenance. Basic maintenance includes cleaning laptop keyboard and cleaning laptop fans every few months to keep the system cool.
