Identifying the device category using the Win32_Battery WMI class. 

The objective of the article is to utilize specific WMI classes to ascertain whether the examined device falls under the category of a laptop or desktop. To achieve this, we will make use of the Win32_Battery WMI class, which signifies a connected battery within the computer system.

what is WMI?

Windows Management Instrumentation



Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a management infrastructure provided by Microsoft in the Windows operating system. It allows administrators and developers to access and manipulate management information and resources in a Windows environment.


WMI provides a standardized way to interact with various aspects of a Windows system, including hardware, software, processes, configuration settings, and more. It exposes a set of classes, properties, and methods that can be queried and modified to retrieve information or perform management tasks.


WMI can be accessed through various programming languages, including C#, PowerShell, VBScript, and Python, using the appropriate APIs and libraries provided by Microsoft. It provides a powerful and flexible way to manage and monitor Windows systems in both local and remote scenarios.

Some notebooks use more than one battery and return more than one instance. Systems without a battery yield no instances, which may indicate and give us a greater chance of understanding the target as a desktop and not a laptop

class Win32_Battery : CIM_Battery
{
uint16 Availability;
uint32 BatteryRechargeTime;
uint16 BatteryStatus;
string Caption;
uint16 Chemistry;
uint32 ConfigManagerErrorCode;
boolean ConfigManagerUserConfig;
string CreationClassName;
string Description;
uint32 DesignCapacity;
uint64 DesignVoltage;
string DeviceID;
boolean ErrorCleared;
string ErrorDescription;
uint16 EstimatedChargeRemaining;
uint32 EstimatedRunTime;

boolean PowerManagementSupported;
string SmartBatteryVersion;
string Status;
uint16 StatusInfo;
string SystemCreationClassName;
string SystemName;
uint32 TimeOnBattery;
uint32 TimeToFullCharge;
};

The Win32_Battery class has the following properties:

  • Availability
  • BatteryRechargeTime
  • BatteryStatus
  • Caption
  • Chemistry
  • ConfigManagerErrorCode
  • ConfigManagerUserConfig
  • CreationClassName
  • Description
  • DesignCapacity
  • DesignVoltage
  • DeviceID
  • ErrorCleared
  • ErrorDescription
  • EstimatedChargeRemaining
  • EstimatedRunTime
  • ExpectedBatteryLife
  • ExpectedLife
  • FullChargeCapacity
  • InstallDate
  • LastErrorCode
  • MaxRechargeTime
  • Name
  • PNPDeviceID
  • PowerManagementCapabilities
  • PowerManagementSupported
  • SmartBatteryVersion
  • Status
  • StatusInfo
  • SystemCreationClassName
  • SystemName

Each of these properties contains a specific piece of battery-related information that can be queried using the WMI API.
