How to check battery capacity on Linux
Hi everyone!
In this video, I'll show you how to check the exact capacity and health of your laptop battery on Linux using the terminal.
If you've noticed your laptop doesn't last as long as it used to, it might be due to battery degradation. I'll guide you through using the upower tool, which comes pre-installed on Ubuntu and most other distributions, to get detailed statistics about your battery.
We'll start by finding your specific battery device ID and then use a simple command to reveal critical information like the original design capacity versus its current full capacity. I'll explain what these numbers mean and how to calculate your battery's wear level percentage.
Finally, I'll share three tips to extend your battery's longevity, including managing heat, setting charge thresholds, and avoiding deep discharges.
