Battery Health

Battery health indicates the amount of charge that is available to a system. In general, a battery’s health decreases over time at a rate that depends on how often the battery is used and the conditions under which it is used.

To indicate battery health, Dell Command | Power Manager uses a set of four circular icons. The number of circular icons that are filled indicates the battery health.

2 orange circles filledFair — Battery can charge normally; however, it is near the end of its usable life. It is recommended that you purchase a new battery soon.
1 red circle filledPoor — Battery no longer provides sufficient power. It is recommended that you replace this battery.
