Conserving Battery Power
The total time elapsed to discharge a fully-charged battery
The time between activation of the
BAT
Indicator and computer
shutdown because of insufficient power
For the Power utility to calibrate your battery usage correctly, you need to:
Charge your battery to full capacity whenever you charge it
,
including
the 90 minutes of charging after activating the green battery indicator.
Allow the computer to run out of power at least a few times so the
Power utility can base its calibrations on real measurements
Hint
The more you run the computer on battery power, the more accurate the
calibration becomes. If you change the way you use the computer during
battery operations, the calibration will not be accurate. However, the worst that
can happen if
the calibration is inaccurate is
that the
BAT
indicator could come
on prematurely.
