Conserving Battery Power

In the Windows 2000 environment, the default setting for a critical low battery state is Standby.
Standby does not power down your system to conserve battery power.
NECC recommends that you change the Windows 2000 Standby default setting for a critical low
battery to Hibernate to prevent data loss during battery-powered system operation.
The power management state Hibernate or Save-To-File (STF) saves the system's current
working environment to the system's hard drive, then powers down the system to conserve
battery power. You can configure your power management settings to enter hibernation when
your system reaches a critical low battery state.
