When n ot plugged into a mains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You
can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average
battery life is about 1000 charge/discharge cycles.
You can exten d the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
Using B a ttery Utility, you can limit the ma x. charge to 80% instead of 100% capacity by configuring
Battery Charge Mode. This will correspondingly reduce the potential battery life when discharging.
In particular, when you primarily use the laptop in one location with the mains adapter permanen tly
connected, we recommend configuring Battery Charge Mode to 80% in order to extend the battery life.
If you r equire the maximum battery life for mobile use, we recommen d
configuring Battery Charge Mode to 100%.
You can find Battery Utili ty in the Windows sta rt menu under Settings - Extras
