Check The Current Battery Capacity In Windows 10 Laptop

When you are not getting enough battery backup on your Windows 10 device, you might want to check the current battery capacity so that you can replace the battery if the battery cannot hold at least 50% of its original capacity.

Complete the given below directions to know the current storage capacity of your Windows 10 laptop or tablet battery.

Step 1: Open the Command Prompt with administrator rights. To do that, type CMD in the Start/taskbar search field, right-click on the Command Prompt entry and then click Run as administrator.

Click Yes button upon getting the User Account Control prompt.

Step 2: At the Command Prompt window, type the following command:

powercfg /batteryreport

Hit the Enter key to execute the command.

Step 3: When you execute the above command, Windows 10 creates and saves a battery report to C:\Windows\System32 folder.

Step 4: Navigate to C:\Windows\system32 folder and open the battery-report.html file. It can be opened with any web browser.

Step 5: In the battery report, in the Installed batteries section, you can find both the design capacity as well as the full charge capacity of the battery (batteries). The design capacity represents the amount of charge the battery was originally designed to hold. The full charge capacity is nothing but the current storage capacity of the battery.

If you scroll down the page, you will see a section called Battery capacity history. The table shows how your battery’s storage capacity has declined over time. The full charge capacity of the battery will be close to the design capacity when its new. The full charge capacity drops with time.

When the full charge capacity of the battery drops to less than 50% of the design capacity, you might want to consider replacing the battery.

How to read value of a Capacitor ?

Capacitance is the ability to store electrons and is measured in Farads.One Farad is a very large value! So most capacitors used in electronic circuits are measured in MicroFarads (uF) or even Picofarads (pF). Capacitance = Q / V Where Q is the charge and V is the voltage. Thus the capacitance is the charge divided by voltage. The important parameters of the capacitor are 1. Value -Value is marked on the capacitor directly or in colour codes 2. Tolerance -It indicates how much more or less the actual capacitance of the capacitor 3. Working voltage -It is the maximum voltage a capacitor can withstand before the dielectric breakdown 4. Leakage current .There is always small leakage current in all capacitors. Ideally this should be zero. But no capacitor is perfect without leakage current. Tantalum capacitor is comparatively better with minimum leakage current Value 1pf (Pico Farad) = 0.001nf (Nano Farad) 1nf (Nano Farad) = 0.001μf (Micro Fara...

Ring tester

In my Electronic repair job I found normal multimeter is somewhat limited in certain area. so special tools are needed for saving a lot of time Ring tester is one of this kind .helping me to check small hi Q inductors SMPS transformer, TV Deflection coils ,LOT ,line driver transformer and almost any inductor working on hi frequency.Normal multimeter can only identify a open coil ,but not a shorted windings. I found some commercial available ring tester. but it is not available in local shops of my area.also it seems priced high. So I decided to make a ring tester of my own. Below is the one I successfully made from the junk box components. I found it very useful. and now it is one of my best test tool collection. Two Ic's, few LED's ,one plastic container and few resistors made this wonderful tool. If we test it with primary of SMPS transformer or LOT windings of a good one shows all its LEDs will light. depending on the inductive reactantce...

Transistor numbers and codes

Most transistor markings follow one of these codes: JEDEC, JIS or Pro-Electron. For ICs, look for known numbers (e.g. 741, 4001, 7400) between the prefix and the suffix. Don't confuse it with the date code. ICs typically have two numbers: The part number and the date code. 1. Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) These part numbers take the form: digit, letter, sequential number, [suffix] The letter is always 'N', and the first digit is 1 for diodes, 2 for transistors, 3 for four-leaded devices, and so forth. But 4N and 5N are reserved for opto-couplers. The sequential numbers run from 100 to 9999 and indicate the approximate time the device was first made. If present, a suffix could indicate various things. For example, a 2N2222A is an enhanced version of a 2N2222. It has higher gain, frequency, and voltage ratings. Always check the data sheet. Examples: 1N914 (diode), 2N2222, 2N2222A, 2N904 (transistors). NOTE: When a metal-can version of a JEDEC tra...
