Looking for a benchmark for real world laptop battery duration test.

[KuJoe]

Hello, I'm trying to determine how long my battery will last during real world usage and I was hoping there was some sort of benchmark that can determine this for me. I found some paid options but they cost a lot more tham I'm willing to spend for personal use. I'm hoping there's a free or cheap option out there for me to grab so I don't have to invest time into script something. Thanks.

PCMark 8 has a battery benchmark. It's free on Steam I think...

I was looking at PCMark yesterday but I need to buy the $1500 version for the battery test.

 

EDIT: I thought it was $1000, I just checked and it's $1500.

Bummer  

Battery Eater is a good alternative.

I saw that also but I'm looking for something that will benchmark my battery using a "real world" workload. I already ran a test to see how long my battery would last with video playback (06:33:26 at full brightness with a 100Mbps video on fullscreen) so now I'm looking for what I can expect during normal usage at like an event/conference/training.

The only one that is decent is PCmark

That's what I was afraid of. I guess I'll just write a script then.
