3.7Monitoring The Battery And Maximizing Run Time

Note: The battery status is displayed in the Power applet in the Control Panel. A ‘very low power’ warning message is displayed automatically if the battery capacity falls to 1%. You can also set the percentage at which a ‘low power’ message is displayed using the Advanced tab in the Power Properties dialog box; it is set to 10% by default. Refer to “Power Properties” on page 92 for details.

As lithium-ion batteries age, their capacity decreases gradually, and they are generally con- sidered depleted after approximately 2 years of use (less than 60% of original capacity remaining). Keep in mind however that heavy usage or operating the unit at temperature ex- tremes will shorten the battery life.
