# What's this?

This is a script, which tracks charging and discharging time of a Windows powered laptop.

It creates a log file, which contains information about time the laptop spend charging and discharging the battery. The collected information can give you a pretty good idea about the battery life of your laptop.

Here's a sample:

```
charge=77
mode=discharging
start=09/12/2017 22:36:40
checked=09/12/2017 23:05:51
duration=1751 (00:29:11)
---------------
09/12/2017 22:26:51 charging (00:03:00)
09/12/2017 21:05:39 discharging (00:13:19)
```
At the top you can see the current information, while at the bottom there's a log, consisting of:

* start time
* charging state
* duration

# Why?

Because Windows 10 doesn't provide this kind of information ... an I really wanted mesure battery performance of my new laptop (Asus UX360)
