Did you know?
In general, rechargeable batteries store electrical energy through chemical
reaction - therefore, capacity will change by temperature, unused storage
period, load condition and number of cycles used.
This stops all tasks
and stores them in
memory. Then all
devices except
memory are turned off.
LCD, HDD and au-
dio are turned off.
