in Battery Optimized mode.
Maximum Performance — The processor runs at its highest possible speed even if the computer is
running on battery power.
Battery Optimized Performance — Processor speed is optimized for battery power even if the
computer is connected to an electrical outlet.
Maximum Battery — The processor runs at a slower speed to extend battery life.
