When the main battery runs low you can

:

❖

Plug the computer into an external power source and 
recharge the main battery

❖

Place the computer into Hibernation mode and replace 
the main battery with a charged spare

❖

Connect the computer to an optional high capacity 
battery (if available for your computer)

❖

Save your work and turn off the computer

If you do not manage to do any of these things before the 
main battery completely runs out of power, the computer 
automatically enters Hibernation mode and turns itself off. 
Hibernation mode keeps track of where you were, so that 
when you turn on the power again, you can continue where 
you left off. 

If you have Hibernation mode enabled (the default), the 
computer copies the details of your open programs and files 
to the hard disk before shutting down. For more information 
on using Hibernation, see 

You can set two alarms. Each alarm can be set to alert you 
when a specified percentage of remaining battery power has 
been reached. You can set how the warning occurs: sound an 
alarm, display a message, both, or none. You can also set the 
computer to enter Standby mode or Hibernation mode or to 
completely power down when the alarm goes off.
