Customizing your computer
To change profiles, proceed as follows:

The appropriate power settings are activated.
When you use the battery pack as power source, your system selects the Maximum Battery Life power management profile by default. If you select
a different power management profile while using battery power, the same profile will automatically be selected the next time you use the battery
pack to power your computer.

power management settings that are designed to meet specific power management goals, ranging from
maximum power management to no power management.
