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). A fully charged battery pack supports Hibernation indefinitely.
