How to Get a Battery Health Report in Windows 10 or 11

  1. Open CMD as an Admin
  2. Enter the following command
    powercfg /batteryreport /output c:\breport.html
  3. Open the report and scroll down to look for:
    Design Capacity – (capacity when brand new)
    Full Charge Capacity – (capacity it can currently hold when fully charged)
    Cycle Count – (How many times the battery went through a full charge)

Another option is to use a free utility called BatteryInfoView from Nirsoft
