Using Battery Check

Help and Support provides information on the status of the battery installed in the computer. To run Battery Check:

1.Connect the AC adapter to the computer.

NOTE: The computer must be connected to external power for Battery Check to work properly.

2.Select Start > Help and Support > Troubleshoot > Power, Thermal, and Mechanical.

3.Click the Power tab, and then click Battery Check.

Battery Check examines the battery and its cells to see if they are functioning properly, and then reports the results of the examination.

Displaying the remaining battery charge

▲Move the pointer over the power meter icon on the Windows desktop in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.

Maximizing battery discharge time

Battery discharge time varies depending on features you use while on battery power. Maximum discharge time gradually decreases as the battery storage capacity naturally degrades.

Tips for maximizing battery discharge time:

●Lower the brightness on the display.

●Remove the battery on the computer when it is not being used or charged, if the computer contains a user-replaceable battery

●Store the user-replaceable battery in a cool, dry location.

●Select the Power saver setting in Power Options.
