Exhibit
|July - August 2025
Monitoring your laptop's battery health is essential for maintaining optimal performance and extending its lifespan. Over time, laptop batteries naturally degrade, resulting in reduced capacity and shorter runtimes. If you're interested in learning how to check your laptop's battery health, this article offers step-by-step instructions for both Windows 11 and macOS systems.

CHECKING BATTERY HEALTH ON WINDOWS 11
Windows 11 offers builtin tools to assess battery health, primarily through the Command Prompt or PowerShell. Follow these steps to generate a detailed battery health report:
Step 1: Open Command Prompt or PowerShell
• Press Win + S to open the search bar.
• Type cmd or powershell and select Run as administrator.
Step 2: Generate the Battery Report
In the Command Prompt or PowerShell window, type the following command and press Enter: powercfg/batteryreport
The system will generate a battery report and save it as an HTML file. The output will display the file path, typically:
C:\Users\[YourUsername]\battery-report.html
Step 3: View the Battery Report
• Navigate to the file location using File Explorer.
• Double-click the battery-report.html file to open it in your default web browser.
• Review key sections in the report:
Battery Capacity History: Compares the Design Capacity (original capacity) with the Full Charge Capacity (current capacity). A significant difference indicates battery degradation.
Battery Life Estimates: Shows estimated runtime based on usage patterns.
Recent Usage: Displays battery drain and charge cycles over the past few days.
Step 4: Analyze Battery Health
