As you may remember, the earlier versions of Windows provided battery life in real time, showing an approximate estimate of the battery time remaining on your laptop.

However, this information was removed in later versions, based on the reasoning that the indicated time remaining could fluctuate widely, depending on how the computer was being used.

The battery time remaining value is based on the current load on your PC and this changes drastically when you adjust brightness, change volume, open programs and connect to WiFi or Bluetooth.

Hence, the current version of Windows 10 shows battery life in terms of percentage, leaving the users to guess how long the battery is going to last on their computers.
