How to check Battery level via Command line

Sometimes, the battery indicator in Windows 10 stops working, fails to respond, or disappears. In this case you might need to check your battery life, until that problem gets fixed.

Check Battery level using command line

Open Windows Command Prompt and execute the following command:

Command Line Window: WMIC Command Screenshot

WMIC PATH Win32_Battery Get EstimatedChargeRemaining

The output for that command would look something like this:

EstimatedCharge

Remaining

You can see the estimated battery charge remaining.

In my next update I will show you a possible fix to this problem.
