How often should I check my battery health?

For most users, checking battery health every 3-6 months is sufficient. If you notice significant changes in battery life, use CheckBatteryHealth to check more frequently.

What is a good battery health percentage?

A battery health above 80% is considered good. Between 60-80% indicates normal aging, while below 60% suggests it may be time to consider a replacement for optimal performance.

How can I extend my battery lifespan?

To extend battery life: keep charge between 20-80% when possible, avoid extreme temperatures, reduce screen brightness, and close unnecessary background apps.

Is it bad to leave my laptop plugged in all the time?

Yes, keeping your laptop constantly at 100% charge can degrade battery health over time. Consider using battery saver modes or charge-limiting features if available.

How accurate is the battery health report?

CheckBatteryHealth's battery health reports are generally accurate but may vary slightly. For best results, run the test when your battery is between 20-80% charge.

Can I replace my laptop battery myself?

This depends on your laptop model. Many modern laptops have sealed batteries requiring professional replacement, while others allow user-replaceable batteries. Check your manufacturer's guidelines.

What does 'battery calibration' mean?

Battery calibration helps your device accurately report battery levels. It involves fully charging, discharging, and recharging to 100%. This should only be done occasionally.
