Conserving battery power
How long a fully charged battery lasts when you are using the
computer depends on a number of factors, such as:
❖
How the computer is configured
❖
How much you use the display panel instead of an
external monitor
❖
How much you use the hard disk and other drives
TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at
low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if
you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based
on your current rate of power use and other factors such as the
age of the battery.
