Monitoring main battery power
TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at low
temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if you are
working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based on
your current rate of power use and other factors such as the age of
the battery.

What to do when the main battery runs low

When the main battery runs low you can
❖
Plug the computer into an external power source and
recharge the main battery.
❖
Put the computer in Hibernation mode and replace the
main battery with a charged spare.
❖
Connect the computer to the optional high-capacity
battery.
❖
Save your work and turn off the computer.
If you don't manage to do any of these things before the main
battery completely runs out of power, the computer
automatically enters Standby mode and turns itself off.
Standby mode keeps track of where you were so, when you
turn on the power again, you can continue where you left off.
The computer stores information on what you were doing
until the main battery runs out of power. If you have
Hibernation mode enabled (the default), the computer copies
the details of your open programs and files to the hard disk
before shutting down.
