A microprocessor in the computer's intelligent
power supply detects the battery's charge and
calculates the remaining battery capacity. It also
protects electronic components from abnormal
conditions, such as voltage overload from a
universal AC adaptor. You can monitor

remaining item of the Power Save Modes
window in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
