How to Check Your Laptop’s Battery Health in Windows 10 or 11

If your laptop battery isn’t lasting as long as it used to, it might be time to check its health. Fortunately, Windows 10 and 11 offer a built-in way to generate a battery report—and it’s easier than you think.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to create a detailed battery health report in just a few steps. This report gives insight into your battery’s design capacity vs. actual charge capacity, usage history, and overall health.


✅ Why Check Your Laptop Battery Health?

  • 🔋 See if your battery is wearing out

  • 🧾 Compare original vs. current capacity

  • ⏳ Plan ahead for battery replacement

  • 📉 Spot performance decline before it becomes a problem


🖥️ How to Generate a Battery Report in Windows 10 or 11

You don’t need special tools—just use Command Prompt. Here’s how:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Press Windows Key + X and choose Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin).

  2. In the terminal, type the following command:

    powercfg /batteryreport
  3. Press Enter.

Windows will generate a battery report and save it as an HTML file—usually located at:

C:\Users\YourUsername\battery-report.html
  1. Open the report by double-clicking the file or dragging it into a web browser.


🔍 What to Look for in the Report

The battery report includes several key sections:

  • Design Capacity vs. Full Charge Capacity: If your battery’s full charge capacity is significantly lower than its original design capacity, it’s a clear sign of wear. Moe Repair recommends replacing the battery once it drops below 70% of its design capacity.

  • Battery Life Estimates: Shows how long your battery should last based on recent usage.

  • Charge Cycles & Usage History: Helps spot patterns and issues.
