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.

Managing low battery levels

The information in this section describes the alerts and system responses set at the factory. Some low-battery alerts and system responses can be changed using Power Options. Preferences set using Power Options do not affect lights.

From the Start screen, type power, select Settings, and then select Power Options.

Identifying low battery levels

When a battery that is the sole power source for the computer reaches a low or critical battery level, the following behavior occurs:
