Batteries are very important for electronic devices such as cell phones, computers, and laptops. You can set your computer to show the remaining battery time to know exactly how long you can use it in real-time. However, battery life decreases over time. To find out the current status of the battery, you should check its health.

Do you need to check the battery’s health?

Batteries are important for electrical power devices such as laptops and cell phones. Battery capacity determines how long you can use your device after a full charge. However, the battery does not last forever and is discharged in a few hours (if the device is used continuously), and over time, the battery charging capabilities are reduced. Checking the battery’s health is important because you can determine if you need to charge the battery or if you need to replace it with a new one.

How to check battery health in Windows? In this tutorial, we will fully explain its steps.

Tip: Be careful when performing these steps on your system, as a small mistake can lead to the loss and corruption of your information. In this case, you should use data recovery software to restore your important files.

Battery life versus battery health

Most people confuse battery life and battery health and think they are different but the same.

Battery life: Battery life, also known as battery life, refers to the amount of time a device can work before being recharged. This determines how long your battery lasts on a single charge.

Battery health: Battery health is also called battery life, i.e., the current state of the battery. Indicates for how long the battery will need to be replaced. Determines how much battery life decreases over time.
