NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you continue to ignore the low battery
warnings, the Notebook PC eventually enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR).
WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is depleted.
Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small amount of
power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery depletion or no power
supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).
Note: Screen captures shown here are examples only and may not reflect what you
see in your system.
Checking Battery Power
The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment, which
allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge left in the battery. A fully-charged battery
pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But the actual figure varies depending
on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size,
and the size of the display panel.
