Is it possible to check out how much battery life is left in a laptop until the charge runs out?

Thanks

    Hi

    Go to Control Panel, Power Options, Advanced and click on Always Show Icon on Taskbar.
    Then rest your mouse of the battery icon and it will show % left and estimated time. It may take a few minutes to work out the time though
