If you are curious about your battery usage, this tweak will teach you how to generate battery report and check your consumption in Windows 10.
Ordinarily, one would have to download a third-party application in the form of a freeware, shareware, or otherwise software, many people aren’t aware that Windows 10 has an built-in battery report utility that is easily accessible with a couple of clicks.
Though the maximum time that can be looked at is limited to 14 days, it is still a handy utility to analyze the various aspects of your battery and the time it’s giving your OS.
To generate your own report, simply press CTRL + R and type cmd, followed by Enter.
You will have a command prompt box open up before you, and in that box you have to copy / paste the following code.
powercfg /batteryreport /output %USERPROFILE%Desktopbattery_report.html /Duration
When you copy the line till Duration, insert a number between 1 – 14 and you will get your report on your desktop. e.g: powercfg /batteryreport /output %USERPROFILE%Desktopbattery_report.html /Duration 7
You will now look at your desktop for the generated report that will appear as a HTML icon, i.e. your browser icon with a different name.
To open your report, simply double-click it, and it will automatically take you to your statistics page without the need of internet since the data is completely stored locally.
Voila! You’ve successfully managed to generate battery report.
