Did you know that if you have a Windows 7 or newer laptop, you can run a battery report that shows you the status of your battery?

1. Open Command Prompt (not PowerShell, there is an error if you run this command in PowerShell)
2. Type powercfg /batteryreport
3. This will generate a battery report

The report shows:

• Installed batteries
• Recent usage
• Battery usage
• Usage history
• Battery capacity history
• Battery life estimates
