Hello!
For those of you who don’t know already, there is a way to generate a complete and detailed battery report using nothing but cmd. It’s a neat way to do it since you don’t have to install any additional software/bloatware on your devices with limited memory.
Basically, You need to run cmd, type in a command in there, then navigate to C:\Users\*user*\battery-report.html and start it, but frankly, this is just too much work for me to do every time.
In this so -called guide i will explain how to do it using a very simple *.bat file, so you can do it with one click.
The report will be generated in the same folder in which we put our *.bat file, for this purpose i have chosen my Documents folder. So:
1.Open your Documents folder and make a new folder called “Battery”.
2.Inside, make a new text document and write in those two lines:
powercfg /batteryreport
start C:\Users\*USER*\Documents\Battery\battery-report.html
3. Change *USER* with your username.
4. Save the file as a *.bat file and rename it to something fancy like “Battery Info”.
5. Create a shortcut of the file to your Desktop for easy access, you can even do something crazy and go as far as to change its icon so it’s not so ugly.
That’s it ! Cheers.
