Checking Battery Status
You can determine the percentage of battery power remaining by using

As each computer user has different habits and needs, it is difficult to
predict how long a battery charge will last. There are two main factors:
The amount of energy stored in the battery when you begin to work.
The way you use your computer: for example, how often you access the
hard disk drive and how bright you make the computer display.
