You can also use the search bar to locate the report. The other option to access the battery report is by clicking on Win+R and entering the location of the report. The location will look like this “C:WINDOWSsystem32energy-report.html.”

Opening the report will let you look at all the necessary information about your laptop’s battery. You can use the “Recent Usage” section of the report to look at when your laptop was on and off (Active/Suspended). You will be able to see how much capacity your laptop has left in it.

You will be able to understand how well your laptop will be able to hold up by keeping an eye on the Battery Capacity and the Usage History.
