About this test
The battery test reads the Battery Status API to show level, charging state and the time-to-full or time-remaining estimates. Leave it open while you work to chart the level and calculate the drain rate in percent per hour, a simple way to compare power settings or spot a battery that is wearing out.
How to use this test
- Unplug the charger to measure drain, or plug in to measure charging.
- Leave the tab open for at least 15 minutes.
- Read the rate. More than 20 %/h at light use suggests heavy background load or a worn battery.
