Using power saving modes
When you use a battery as the source of power for your computer, you can take advantage of power management
settings to conserve battery life. In addition to the normal operating mode, which allows you to turn off specific
devices, your computer has two distinct power saving modes: Standby and Hibernate. When using battery power,
you should be aware that the computer automatically enters Hibernate mode when the remaining battery charge
drops below 7 percent, regardless of the power management setting you select.
