Conserving battery power
How long a fully charged battery pack lasts when you are
using the computer depends on a number of factors, such
as:
❖
How the computer is configured
❖
How much you use the internal storage drive, optional
external writable optical disc drive, or other optional
devices
❖
Where you are working, since operating time decreases
at low temperatures
There are various ways in which you can conserve power
and extend the operating time of your battery:
❖
Enable Sleep or Hibernation, which saves power when
you turn off the computer and turn it back on again
❖
Use the Windows power-saving option plans
to display the battery
