6 Managing power

Your computer can operate on either battery power or external AC power. When the computer is only running on battery power and an AC power source is not available to charge the battery, it is important to monitor and conserve the battery charge. Your computer supports power plans to manage how your computer uses and conserves power so that you can balance computer performance with power conservation.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to replace your computer battery, which is installed at the factory.

Your computer has an internal rechargeable battery that can be replaced only by an authorized service provider. To monitor the status of your battery, or if the battery is no longer holding a charge, run Battery Check in Help and Support. If Battery Check indicates that your battery should be replaced, contact customer support.
