[SOLVED] Any way to check battery health in Windows laptops?

[Rodion15]

I'd like to be able to interpret the command line command:

powercfg /batteryreport

for example, for my laptop it shows:
DESIGN CAPACITY 38,000 mWh
FULL CHARGE CAPACITY 20,360 mWh

Laptop vendors will usually have an app that works specifically with their laptops.
It should display:
charging/battery
% of full charge
run time and such.
If you can't find the app pre loaded, you may find it in the asus web site.

Thanks. I'll check on that.

Well, the fact is that those apps sometimes don't say if the battery is healthy or not, they don't state how to interpret the data. For example: Apple tests tell you: battery health: 92% (80 to 100% is OK, below that isn't).

Open a command prompt or PowerShell as Administrator and run the following command:

powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery-report.html"

You can change the output path to your own preference. You can open the HTML file in a web browser. This should provide you with more information including the estimated battery life.
