How to check the battery health and system configuration?

System configuration

Open PowerShell and run:

Get-CimInstance  

next class: Win32_WinSAT

Look for WinSPRLevel.

  • 8.0–9.9 → High-end gaming & 4K editing

  • 6.5–7.9 → Mid-level gaming & 1080p editing

  • 5.0–6.4 → Daily use & basic editing

  • Below 5.0 → Normal browsing & YouTube

Note: WinSPRLevel is an overall Windows Experience Index score. It is useful as a quick indication, but it doesn't by itself determine whether a system is suitable for gaming or 4K editing.

Battery health

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

powercfg /batteryreport

Windows will show a path such as:

C:\Users\YourName\battery-report.html

Open that HTML file in your browser.

Check:

  • Design Capacity → Original battery capacity

  • Full Charge Capacity → Current maximum capacity

For example, if:

Design Capacity:       80,000 mWh
Full Charge Capacity:  70,000 mWh

Battery health is approximately:

70,000 ÷ 80,000 × 100 = 87.5%

So 70K mWh alone does not tell you whether the battery is good; you need to compare it with the Design Capacity.
