4.Reenter the settings that you recorded for the items in the Plugged in column and the Running on batteries column.
5.Click OK.
CAUTION After calibrating the battery pack, reenable hibernation. Failure to reenable hibernation may result in a complete battery discharge and potential information loss.
To reenable hibernation, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab. Select the Enable hibernation check box, and then click Apply.
