Is there anyone here who tried to get the logs of powercfg /batteryreport?

This is the first time I've seen the request. What information does this provide? Do you know if there is any API in Windows for this? I see [Win32\_PortableBattery](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394357(VS.85).aspx) can be queried through WMI. Is that the same info?

That's what I'm also looking for, if there's api for this. I think Win32\_PortableBattery is different from powercfg.

Can you please try to check this one. \<[Powercfg](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc748940(v=ws.10).aspx)\> . It's a tool that gathers data and output it to html file.

Maybe it's off topic from beats. Sorry.
