Tips for Conserving Battery Power
You can extend the charge life of your battery pack by conserving battery power. A fully charged battery pack can run the system under normal use in most applications for approximately 2.5 hours*. Your results may vary depending on your application and how the system is configured. Here are some suggestions to help you conserve battery power:
•Use an external power source such as the AC adapter to power the system when possible.
•Suspend system operation if you know that you won’t be using the system for a while.
•Shut down the system if you won’t be using the system for an extended period of time.
•Use power management timeouts (accessible through the BIOS setup) to help you conserve power automatically. Contact your reseller before modifying the BIOS.
*Battery life is dependent upon a number of factors: operating system, power settings, and applications in use.
