Using Media Player On Battery Power - Fujitsu Lifebook E8410 User Manual

Using Media Player on Battery Power

Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when
operating the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard
operation. Many movie run-times are longer than your notebook can support on a single charged
battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in an additional,
charged battery or attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety.
