The BatteryIQ Dashboard with battery health, time remaining, power draw, temperature and the current session.

The BatteryIQ Sessions page.

Sessions

Every unplugged session, tracked

Runtime, drain rate and start and end level for every session, with your average and best runtime and a history by session, day, week or month. You choose the minimum length and battery use a session needs to be saved.

A BatteryIQ session in detail.

Session detail

See exactly where it went

Battery level over time with the hours your laptop slept shaded in, how much sleep cost you, average screen brightness, and the apps that used the most power.

The BatteryIQ Analyze page.

Analyze

Find out why sessions run short

Compares your short sessions with normal ones: drain while awake, processor use and screen brightness side by side, and the apps that cost you the most runtime.

The BatteryIQ Battery Health page.

Battery health

Track wear. Forecast replacement.

Health over six months, a year or the battery's lifetime, charge cycles today, this week and this month, charging habits like overnight charges and time spent at 100%, and a forecast of when health will drop below 80%.

And a lot more

Power draw in the tray

A live Power Draw tile on the Dashboard, and the same reading in the tray tooltip, so you can see how many watts your laptop is using right now.

Battery health report

Export a clean report with health, capacity lost, charge cycles, your device and battery details, health over time and the wear forecast.

Sleep, counted separately

Time asleep and the battery it cost are shown apart from active use, so your runtime numbers stay honest.

Runtime tips

Practical suggestions, like how much runtime dimming your screen would add to the current session.

Your data, your call

Delete one session, everything, or data older than three months, whenever you like.

Native to Windows

Built with WinUI 3 and .NET 8, so it looks and feels like part of Windows 11.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. BatteryIQ is free on the Microsoft Store.

How is battery health worked out?

Health is your battery's current full-charge capacity compared with the capacity it was designed for, as reported by Windows. A battery at 62.7 Wh out of a 75.1 Wh design is at about 83% health.

Why isn't my session in the history?

By default, BatteryIQ saves every unplugged session of 10 minutes or more that uses at least 3% of the battery. You can change both limits in Settings, under Session history. The session in progress always shows live on the Sessions page.

Does sleep count as runtime?

No. Sleep is shown separately, with how long the laptop slept and how much battery it lost, so active runtime only counts the time you were actually using it.

Does it work on a desktop PC?

BatteryIQ is made for laptops and tablets with a battery. On a desktop without one there is nothing for it to measure.

I found a bug or want a feature.

Email bhoominn@gmail.com. The Power Draw tile and the adjustable session limits both came from user feedback.
