If the computer will be disconnected from external power for
more than two weeks—To extend the useful life of the battery
pack, shut down the computer, then remove the battery pack and
store it in a cool, dry place.
If you plan to resume within two weeks—Initiating Hibernation
clears the screen, saves your work to the hard drive, and uses less
power than Suspend (Standby). Returning to work saved in
Hibernation takes a little longer than returning to work placed in
Suspend (Standby), but is much faster than returning to your
place manually after restarting the computer. A fully charged
battery pack supports Hibernation indefinitely.
