Running on batteries column. Lower time-out values will
save more battery power.

use Windows power management functions.
Note:
Actual dialogue box shown above may appear slightly different.
Suspend Mode
Standby Suspend
The system automatically enters this mode after a period
of inactivity, which is set in the Power Schemes dialog box.
In Standby mode, hardware devices, such as display
panel and hard disk, are turned off to conserve energy.
Hibernate Suspend
In this mode, all system data are saved in the hard disk
before powering down. When this mode is activated, all
system state and contents are saved to the hard disk drive
after a period of inactivity defined by the user. No power
or very little power is drawn from the battery module under
this mode.
However, depending on how much RAM that have been
installed on your computer, the amount of time the system
requires to restore all its previous contents can range from 5
to 20 seconds.
For Windows XP users, hibernation is handled by the
operating system; therefore, no special disk partition or
disk file is necessary.
If you wish to activate Hibernate mode, you need enable
Hibernate Support in the Hibernate tab of the Power
Options menu.
