Displaying the remaining battery charge

▲

Move the pointer over the power meter icon on the Windows desktop in the notification area, at

the far right of the taskbar.

Maximizing battery discharge time

Battery discharge time varies depending on features you use while on battery power. Maximum

discharge time gradually decreases as the battery storage capacity naturally degrades.
Tips for maximizing battery discharge time:

●

Lower the brightness on the display.

●

Remove the battery on the computer when it is not being used or charged, if the computer

contains a user-replaceable battery

●

Store the user-replaceable battery in a cool, dry location.

●

Select the Power saver setting in Power Options.

Managing low battery levels

The information in this section describes the alerts and system responses set at the factory. Some

low-battery alerts and system responses can be changed using Power Options. Preferences set

using Power Options do not affect lights.

Identifying low battery levels

When a battery that is the sole power source for the computer reaches a low or critical battery level,

the following behavior occurs:

●

The battery light (select models only) indicates a low or critical battery level.

– or –

●

The power meter icon in the notification area shows a low or critical battery notification.

NOTE:

For additional information about the power meter, see

Using the power meter and

power settings on page 37

If the computer is on or in the Sleep state, the computer remains briefly in the Sleep state, and then

shuts down and loses any unsaved information.
