Hello Kerry,

A couple of usual items to check for this:

• Did you run this on a laptop or tablet? It will not run on a desktop PC since it doesn't have batteries.
• If so, then you might try running the command in an elevated command prompt instead?

I ran it on my laptop in an elevated command prompt. It was Windows 8.1 if that matters. My user folders like Documents are not in their normal location, I have them on my D drive.
I tried powercfg /batteryreport /output "D:\battery_report.html" and got the same error message. I'm on my desktop at the moment I'll have another try at it latter on.

Sounds like it may be a permissions issue to where you are trying to save the output at.

This can't be right. My Design Capacity is smaller than my Full Charge Capacity

Hello thedodo,

"Design Capacity" is just what is reported by the factory that it's designed to be. However, sometimes you may get lucky by having the actual capacity (full charge capacity) be a bit over the reported design. Over time the actual capacity will reduce though.

Oh I see.

My Transformer battery lasts for more than 10 hours. No need to measure anything. LOL

Do you have one of those Asus Transformers? I was going to do get one, but changed my mind and went with the HP Envy x2.

Yeah, it's an Asus Transformer. Works great. I love it. I added a 64GB MicroSD card which I use for my user files and for images using Macrium. The performance is really amazing. They have come a long way with this Atom processor.

I've been really impressed by my Envy! It uses an Atom processor as well.

If I remember right, the Envy was a lot more money.

 

[Chuck38]

Yes it was or is, but I was able to get it refurbished for about half the original price. In the United States the Envy is selling for about $700, but I was able to get it for $450. (Amazon.com)
