Measure battery power - how it works

There are various options for measuring the capacity of batteries. Which variant is best for you depends on how exactly you want to measure and how often you want to take a measurement.

• To check the capacity of your batteries, you can use a battery charger with various options. At around 55 euros, the device is somewhat more expensive than a purely battery charger, but you can also use it to measure the battery capacity, discharge batteries and of course recharge the batteries.
• If you only occasionally want to measure the capacity of somewhat larger batteries, such as the notebook battery, you will receive practical small measuring devices in the form of USB sticks that cost around 10 euros.
• If you need very exact values ​​and you often have to determine the remaining capacity of larger batteries, a slightly more professional digital power meter that you can get in specialist shops for around 35 euros is worth it.
• You can download the AkkuLine battery tool from us completely free of charge, with which you can also check the condition of your notebook battery quite comfortably.
