How to generate a Windows battery report for a Lenovo laptop?

The Windows Battery Report is one of the quickest ways to verify real battery capacity on a Lenovo laptop. It helps you separate “settings” from true battery wear.

Create the report

1. Open Command Prompt (Admin) or Windows Terminal.
2. Run the command below.

powercfg /batteryreport

What to read first

• Design Capacity: original rated capacity.
• Full Charge Capacity: current maximum charge.
• Recent usage: helps you spot sudden drops and inconsistencies.

Lenovo-specific tip

If your Lenovo only charges to 80%, check Lenovo Vantage conservation mode. The report still helps, but your “max” may be intentionally limited.

Next step

If capacity is significantly reduced and your runtime is unacceptable, a battery replacement matched by FRU/Part Number is usually the clean fix.
