■ 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 an eight-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.
