If someone wants to check the battery levels of a computer using Command Prompt or Windows PowerShell, it is now possible. This method is useful if due to a glitch in Windows 10’s shell, the results in the battery icon in the system tray go missing.

Check Battery level using command line

You will have to use the WMIC command-line tool in Command Prompt or PowerShell:

Open Windows Command Prompt and execute the following command:

WMIC PATH Win32_Battery Get EstimatedChargeRemaining
