"Have you noticed a decline in your laptop's battery life? Does it randomly fall below 20%, leaving you scrambling for a charger? You can run a report to check your battery's overall health and if it's time to replace it. And no, you don't have to be a pro to access this feature. The fact is that batteries are, by their nature, consumable technology. All will inevitably degrade, regardless of how they're treated."
"You may have heard about ways to maximize battery optimization, but I wouldn't stress about these techniques. There's no need to fixate on unplugging your laptop at a certain point or monitoring the charge percentage like a hawk. Your actions will only affect battery life so much. That said, if your battery is a shadow of its former self, it may be nearing the end of its lifespan. Here's how you can check battery health in Windows 11."
Windows 11 includes a built-in battery report that reveals detailed battery health information. The report is generated with powercfg and outputs an HTML file that can be opened in a browser. The report lists battery name, chemistry (Li-ion or LiPo), design capacity in mWh, recent full-charge values, cycle counts, lifecycle position, and charging history. Batteries are consumable and will degrade over time regardless of use patterns, and minor user habits have limited impact on overall longevity. If design capacity or cycle counts indicate significant wear and reduced runtime, the internal battery can be replaced to restore usable battery life.
