Charging the battery
These power-saving options control the way in which the
device is configured. By using them, you can increase the
length of time you can use the device before you need to
recharge the battery.
Microsoft has combined these options into preset Power
Plans. Using one of these power plans lets you choose
between maximum power savings and peak system
performance. You may also set individual power-saving
options to suit your own needs.
The following sections describe how to choose a Power Plan
and discuss each power-saving option.
