Monitoring the Battery Charge
Battery life is affected by factors such as the power-management settings in System
Setup, the applications you use, and the brightness settings of the LCD. Under normal
usage, the battery charge lasts approximately 3 hours for standard battery (undocked),
1 1/2 hours on standard battery (docked) and approximately 5 hours for the long life
battery (undocked).
Battery life estimates are subject to variation. The actual life of your battery
may be less than the estimates given in the manual.
Power Management
To change the time until your computer goes into reduced power modes, use the system
power management function.
