$Computer = “csds-XXXXX” #Replace with actual machine name

function Get-BatteryHealth {

  $FCC = Get-WMIObject -cn $Computer -Namespace root\wmi -Class BatteryFullChargedCapacity | select FullChargedCapacity

  $DC = Get-WMIObject -cn $Computer -Namespace root\wmi -Class BatteryStaticData | select DesignedCapacity

  $batteryresult = ($FCC.FullChargedCapacity / $DC.DesignedCapacity) * 100

  $batteryresult = [math]::Round($batteryresult)

  "Battery running at $batteryresult% of original manufactured state"}

Get-BatteryHealth -cn $Computer

3. You will get the output of the Battery Life at the bottom of the stating "Battery running at XX% of the original Manufactured State."

Notes:

We typically see a degradation in user’s batteries below 65%; anything under 40% is very noticeable. If we notice a battery below 40% advise the user they may want to get a new one purchased through their department. If the user is constantly on a docking station they will not notice the battery degradation and will not need a new battery since their power comes from the dock.

**The battery purchase can be advised to employees that travel or have their laptop off the dock constantly**
