Frequently asked questions

Can my computer enter Hibernate mode while using battery power?
Some software programs and peripheral devices prevent the system from
activating Hibernate mode when the battery is low or the computer is running on
AC power. To avoid loss of data when using battery power, you should save your
data frequently and manually activate a power management mode, such as
Standby or Hibernate. See "Using power saving modes" for more information.
When should I replace the battery?
If, after fully charging the battery, the battery power is still low, the battery may
be reaching the end of its life and should be replaced.
Why is the battery warm?
While the battery is in use or being discharged, the battery heats up. This is
normal and is not cause for concern.
