Start Using BatteryHistoryView
BatteryHistoryView doesn't require any installation process or additional DLL files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - BatteryHistoryView.exe
After running BatteryHistoryView - if the SRUDB.dat database file is locked , BatteryHistoryView will ask you whether you want to run it as administrator in order to access the locked file. If the file is not locked, BatteryHistoryView will load it instantly.
Be aware: BatteryHistoryView loads the battery history from 2 different tables, and thus you'll get in this tool 2 types of records.
The first type of record only displays the following fields: Timestamp, Cycle Count, Designed Capacity, Full Charged Capacity, Charge Level, Charge Percent.
The second type of record displays the rest of the fields.
'Advanced Options' Window
In the 'Advanced Options' window (F9), you can choose to load the SRUDB.dat database from external drive or from a remote computer on your network.
Be aware that loading the battery history information from a remote computer works only when the database file on the remote computer is not locked.
You can also choose to load the battery history information from the last xx days hours or from the specified date/time range.
