Chapter 3. Explore your computer

Manage power

Use the information in this section to achieve the best balance between performance and power efficiency.

Check the battery status

The battery status icon 

or 

is in the Windows notification area. You can check the battery status, view 

the current power plan, and access battery settings quickly.

Click the battery status icon to display the percentage of battery power remaining and change the power 
mode. A warning message is displayed when the battery is low.

Charge the battery

When the remaining battery power is low, charge your battery by connecting your computer to ac power.

The battery is fully charged in about two to four hours. The actual charging time depends on the battery 
capacity, the physical environment, and whether you are using the computer.

Battery charging is also affected by its temperature. The recommended temperature range for charging the 
battery is between 10°C (50°F) and 35°C (95°F).

Note: 

You can check the battery temperature in Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager.

To maximize the life of the battery, once the battery is fully charged, it must discharge to 94% or lower 
before it will be allowed to recharge again.

Power input through a USB-C port

The USB-C port supports power input up to 20 V and 5 A. Some external devices, such as a dock or display, 
may include a USB-C port that supports power output greater than 20 V and 2.25 A. If such a device is 
connected to this USB-C port, it is capable of providing power to your computer.

In another scenario, if you carry your computer around without the included ac power adapter, you may use 
a capable USB-C charger to provide power through the USB-C port. In both scenarios, the output power of a 
USB-C charger or the USB-C port on a dock or display should be at least 20 V and 2.25 A in order to provide 
power to your computer. The following table lists the charging capability of a USB-C port on a charger or an 
external device based on its maximum output power.
