Using battery power
The tablet runs on battery power whenever it is not plugged into external AC power. Tablet battery life varies,
depending on power management settings, programs running on the tablet, display brightness, external
devices connected to the tablet, and other factors. When the tablet is plugged into AC power, the battery is
charged and your work is protected in case of a power outage. If the battery is charged and the tablet is
running on external AC power, the tablet automatically switches to battery power if the AC adapter is
disconnected from the tablet or an AC power loss occurs.
NOTE: When you disconnect AC power, the display brightness is automatically decreased to save battery
life. For more information, see Using external AC power on page 39.
Factory-sealed battery
To monitor the status of your battery, or if the battery is no longer holding a charge, run Battery Check in HP
Support Assistant. To access battery information, tap the HP Support Assistant app on the Start screen, and
then tap Battery and performance. If Battery Check indicates that your battery should be replaced, contact
support.
