Power management
When you need to use your computer away from electrical outlets, you depend on battery power to keep
your computer running. Different computer components consume power at different rates. The more you
use the power-intensive components, the faster you consume battery power.
Spend more time unplugged with ThinkPad batteries. Mobility has revolutionized business by allowing
you to take your work wherever you go. With ThinkPad batteries, you will be able to work longer without
being tied to an electrical outlet.
Checking the battery status
The battery-status icon in the Windows notification area displays the percentage of battery power remaining.
The rate at which you use battery power determines how long you can use the battery of your computer
between charges. Because of different user habits and needs, it is difficult to predict how long a battery
charge will last. There are two main factors:
• How much energy is stored in the battery when you begin to work.
• The way you use your computer. For example:
– How often you access the hard disk drive.
– How bright you make the computer display.
– How often you use the wireless features.
To check for detailed battery status information, do the following:
• For Windows 7: Start the Power Manager program and click the Battery tab.
• For Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, do one of the following:
– Start the Lenovo Settings program and click Power .
