HP V300 manual Using Standby Suspend and Hibernation, Task Procedure Result

If the computer will be disconnected from external power for more than two weeks—To extend the useful life of the battery pack, shut down the computer, then remove the battery pack and store it in a cool, dry place.

If you plan to resume within two weeks—Initiating Hibernation clears the screen, saves your work to the hard drive, and uses less power than Suspend (Standby). Returning to work saved in Hibernation takes a little longer than returning to work placed in Suspend (Standby), but is much faster than returning to your place manually after restarting the computer. A fully charged battery pack supports Hibernation indefinitely.
