How to Check Battery Health on Toshiba Dynabook Tecra Using PowerShell

Accessing the Battery Report

• 💻 Open PowerShell by searching for it in the Windows search bar.
• ⚡ Type the command powercfg /batteryreport and press Enter to generate a detailed battery report.

Understanding Battery Capacity

• 📊 The report displays Design Capacity (original battery capacity when new) and Full Charge Capacity (current maximum capacity).
• ⚠️ A lower Full Charge Capacity than Design Capacity indicates battery degradation.
• 💡 In this specific case, the Full Charge Capacity appears higher than the Design Capacity, which is unusual and may be an estimate.

Interpreting Battery Data

• 📈 The report includes recent usage data from the last seven days and a battery usage graph.
• 🔋 You can also find the cycle count, which represents the number of times the laptop battery has been fully discharged and recharged.
