Using the /? in lieu of /batteryreport does the trick, gives lot of possible commands. I can see that in this laptop I need to use the prompt /energy. Then there are some options listed which are probably not important since I just want to see the battery report. However, if I input powercfg /energy I get this return: "The Energy command requires administrator priviliges and must be executed from an elevated command prompt" I'm way out of my element so guess I'll just go buy another battery. Thought it would be worth looking at the report but at this point I'm lost.
