As with mobile phones, the battery of all portable equipment will degrade Over time, something we can avoid in extract the team's battery to avoid being continuously loaded as long as we use it connected to the current. Unfortunately, not all teams have the possibility of extracting the battery, in particular the most modern models.
Know the battery cycles From a laptop, it allows us to have an approximate idea of the use that the equipment has had. This, moreover, also serves to confirm that the problem of the lifespan of the reduced battery is not due to a malfunction of the operating system or poor battery calibration. If you want to know how to know the number of battery cycles of a laptop, we invite you to continue reading.
Know the battery cycles of a laptop
Knowing the number of battery cycles of a laptop is a process that we can perform using third part tools, such as portable manufacturers applications or using the tool that Window It natively offers us, the latter being the recommended option to use and which, then, we show you how it works.
To find out the battery charge cycles in Windows without having to use third part applications, the first thing we need to do is access the command line running the CMD application from the search area.
Then we must write the following command as we show you below:
powercfg /batteryreport
By pressing the Enter key, Windows will display a message with the file name that generated in the team with the Team battery data. This file is displayed in the same location where we have executed the command and this corresponds to the location of the user account.
To access this file, we can close the command line and use the File explorer For windows. The file generated has the extension .htmlSo, by clicking on it, the default browser of our equipment will open automatically, so it is not necessary to install an additional application.
The information that interests us is in the section Batteries installed. Here, we can see the battery identifier, the manufacturer, the serial number, the original capacity, the maximum load capacity and the number of cycles This accumulates the battery.
The battery cycle is filled when it was charged 100% and has been completely released to recharge to its maximum capacity. Depending on the type of laptop battery, Nicad, NIMH or Lithium ions and with appropriate use and maintenance, it can last approximately 1,000 cycles of use.
