A microprocessor in the computer’s intelligent
power supply detects the battery’s charge and
calculates the remaining battery capacity. It also
protects electronic components from abnormal
conditions, such as voltage overload from an
AC adaptor. You can monitor remaining battery
capacity in Windows 95 through the Power
status
item in the Power window of Power
Properties. In Windows 98, use the Battery
remaining
item of the Power Save Modes
window in Power Saver.

Windows 95, you can specify the Power Save Mode
