    Energy Report - New Battery Info Missing


    I recently replaced my laptop battery.

    I ran an energy report in command prompt using the command: powercfg -energy

    Under the batter information, the report doesn't include a serial number for the battery.

    Is there a reason for this?

    I believe it's an aftermarket batter, but it also says:
    Battery ID SAMSUNG Electronics
    Manufacturer SAMSUNG Electronics

    Any idea how I fix this?

    I attached is a screenshot of the report:

    Download and run Speccy [FREE] to see if that finds it from here => Speccy.

    I hope this helps!

    I installed the free version and I don't even see the battery on the hardware list.

    Is it supposed to have this info?

    Sorry, I just downloaded it and it only shows the battery type, not the serial number which I thought it did!

    Yea, all I see is:

    Battery
    AC Line Online
    Battery Charge % 99 %
    Battery State Unknown status
    Remaining Battery Time Unknown

    Windows Energy Report Now Shows:

    Design Capacity 62160
    Last Full Charge 62160

    I am wondering if there is a problem with my battery.

    The fact that the serial number doesn't show has nothing to do with whether your battery is good or not!

    Probably only the original batteries have serial numbers. Think warranty claims.
