Battery Conservation Levels
Selecting a Battery Conservation Level
To extend the life of your battery, customize your own level of battery
conservation or click one of three preset conservation levels. Medium is
the default setting.
n High Conservation—Saves the most battery power. This level
supplies the most battery life from a single charge.
o Medium Conservation—Provides a balance between system
performance and battery life. This is the default setting.
p None (Drain)—Turns off battery conservation and drains the
battery pack. Hibernation will initiate and turn off the computer
while the computer is in this mode. Before setting the None
(Drain) level, disable Hibernation by clicking the Hibernation tab
in Power Properties.
q Custom—Saves battery power according to your specifications.
This setting remains in effect until you change it.
NOTE
: High, Medium, or Custom conservation settings remain in effect
until you change them. If the None (Drain) level is selected, it remains in
effect until the computer is turned off or restarted. When the computer is
turned on or restarted, the setting reverts to the default, Medium
conservation.
