Tips for Conserving Battery Power 2
You can extend the charge life of your battery pack by conserving battery power.
(Your results may vary depending on your application and how the system is
configured.) Here are some suggestions to help you conserve battery power:
• Use an external power source such as the AC adapter to power the system when
possible.
• Suspend system operation if you know that you won’t be using the system for a
while.
• Shut down the system if you won’t be using the system for an extended period of
time.
• Use power management (accessible through the BIOS setup) to help you conserve
power automatically. Contact your reseller before modifying the BIOS.
* Battery life is dependent upon the operating system, power settings, and
applications in use.
