How many cycles, remaining lifespan, whether battery is failing or dead etc.

Is there a built in tool in Windows 7/8/10, or need something from third party or manufacturers?

Dun think there's any program that can accurately track the charge cycles of a battery unlike Mac but I use BatteryBar to check the "wear level" of the battery.

Open your command prompt and type the following:
Code:
powercfg/batteryreport

You will then see the following -
Battery life report saved to file path C:\Users\Intrinion\battery-report.html.

(As per screenshot)

Navigate to said folder and open the .html file

You will see a list of data to allow you to check on various battery parameters.
Such as max cap and current cap to current estimate of battery life based on all observed drains since OS install

Long pang this thread. Anyone knows of a good battery gauge app for the taskbar. Something similar to what a Thinkpad has

Nope. Often think of these as bloat.
Lenovo's implantation is hard to beat. I wonder if it works for non Lenovo pcs


I want to be able to see percentage all the time without clicking on it. Any recommendations?
