Setting Battery Conservation Levels

To extend the life of your battery, customize the level of battery conservation or
click one of three preset conservation levels. Medium is the factory setting, in
effect until you change it.
You can change the default levels of battery conservation by
pressing Fn+F7 to display a popup window indicating the current
level. Use the left or right arrow keys to select a different level.
High Conservation: Saves the most battery power. This level
supplies the most battery life from a single charge.
Medium Conservation: Provides a balance between system
performance and battery life. This is the factory setting.
None (Drain): Turns off battery conservation features, and the
system runs at full speed. Hibernation is the factory setting on
your computer, and your system also initiates Hibernation
automatically when it reaches a low-battery condition. However,
in the None (Drain) setting, the computer will not initiate
Hibernation automatically if it has been manually disabled.
