Power management

When you need to use your computer away from electrical outlets, you depend on battery power to keep your computer running. Different computer components consume power at different rates. The more you use the power-intensive components, the faster you consume battery power.

•The way you use your computer:

–How often you access the solid-state drive.

–How bright you make the computer display.

To check for detailed battery status information, do the following:

•For Windows 7: Open the Power Manager program and click the Battery tab.

•For Windows 8: Open the Lenovo Support program and click Battery Health, or open the Lenovo Settings program and click Power.
