One of the most common problems users face with laptops is the issue with battery. The batter life of the laptops keeps getting lower over a period of time. The more worn out battery, the smaller battery life and eventually, the battery dies.
On your original Ford battery, the first two characters in the code are a letter and a number. The letter is the month: A is for January, B is for February, and so on. The number is the last digit of the year of manufacture. So a code starting with A9 would mean the battery was made in January of 2009. For your laptop, the battery's performance can affect how you get things done; that's why it is important to monitor your laptop battery's health. Windows 10 makes it possible to check your laptop's health status so you can make the necessary changes to keep the laptop's performance at its best. Battery Health is a professional battery monitoring utility for checking vital statistics about your MacBook's and iOS device's battery, such as power level, heath, capacity, temperature, charge cycles and more. It is an award-winning app that is used by more than 1 million Mac users worldwide.
To plan your Windows 10 powered laptop's battery replacement, you need to be aware of your device's battery health. But how can you check that? Well, here are a few methods using which you can keep a check on your laptop's battery.
Method 1: Battery Report via Command Prompt
This will help you find out the battery wear level and if the wear information isn't blocked, the battery report will tell you what it is. Follow the below mentioned step-by-step guide:
- Open Command Prompt with admin rights.
- Run the following command:
- Open the path the above command returns to view the battery report.
- Look for anything related to battery wear or the number of cycles the battery has gone through.
If this battery wear or the number of cycles information is not available in the report, then you will need a third-party app to find the battery wear. Proceed to the next method for this.
