■Chapter 3 Battery Power & Power Management

In this chapter, you will learn how to operate your notebook on battery power, how to handle and maintain the battery pack, and learn about the system’s power saving features.

TFT display, central processor, hard disk drive are the major hardware subsystems that consume the most power. Power management deals how these key components should behave to conserve power. For example, you can have the system turn off its display after 2 minutes of inactivity to save power. Efficient power management can help you work longer sessions before having to recharge the battery.

The Battery Pack

Lithium-Ion Battery

Your notebook uses a six-cell Lithium-Ion battery pack that provides power when you don’t have access to an AC outlet.

Note: It is necessary that you charge the battery pack for at least 6 hours before using it for the first time.

Note: In the Standby Suspend mode, a fully charged battery loses its power in roughly 1/2 day or less. When not being used, the battery’s power will deplete in 1-2 month.
