before trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The
computer needs this time to check the battery’s remaining capacity
and perform its calculations.

The Power Saver Properties window appears.
The current power source and battery power remaining
section displays the current charge state of the battery.

TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at low
temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if you are
working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based on
your current rate of power use and other factors such as the age of
the battery.
