# Battery Health of Windows devices

Fueling employee productivity starts with keeping devices charged. Proactive battery management lets you prevent disruptions, extend lifespans, and optimize performance for a seamless and efficient work experience.

The following PowerShell script helps the IT Admins to get the battery health details of their managed Windows devices.

1. Create a file on your desktop, for example, **battery_health.ps1** and open it in a text editor like notepad++
2. Copy the contents below to the file or click [here](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/Battery%20Health.ps1) to download the file.

```powershell
Get-WmiObject Win32_Battery | Select-Object Name, DesignCapacity, FullChargeCapacity, EstimatedChargeRemaining, BatteryStatus
```
3. You will be able to see the details in the **Output** tab in the **View Status** report on the Scalefusion dashboard.
  1. **DesignCapacity**: Original capacity of the battery when new.
  2. **FullChargeCapacity**: Current maximum charge capacity.
  3. **EstimatedChargeRemaining**: Current charge level.
  4. **BatteryStatus**: Charging status (e.g., "2 → Charging", "1 → Discharging", "0 → Fully Charged").

4. Follow [our guide](/docs/deploy-powershell-scripts-using-scalefusion) to upload & publish the PowerShell script using Scalefusion Dashboard.

> [!NOTE]
> #### 
> 
> Compare **FullChargeCapacity** to **DesignCapacity** to assess battery health. A lower FullChargeCapacity indicates degradation.

> [!CAUTION]
> #### 
> 
> Please note that to use the PowerShell scripts, the Scalefusion MDM Agent Application must be installed on the device(s). Please follow [our guide](/docs/scalefusion-mdm-agent-application) to publish and install the Scalefusion MDM Agent Application.

> [!CAUTION]
> #### Notes:
> 
> 1. The scripts and their contents are sourced from various albeit authenticated Microsoft sources and forums.
> 2. Please validate the scripts on a test machine before deploying them on all your managed devices.
> 3. Scalefusion has tested these scripts, however, Scalefusion will not be responsible for any loss of data or system malfunction that may arise due to the incorrect usage of these scripts.
