Managing Low-Battery Conditions
This section describes default low-battery condition alerts and
system responses. The default battery light responses cannot be
changed. To change other responses, select
Start > Control
Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options
, and
then follow the instructions on the screen.
Identifying Low-Battery Conditions
When a battery pack that is the only power source for the
computer reaches a
low-battery condition,
a text warning
message is displayed, and the battery light blinks.
If a low-battery condition is not resolved and the amount of
charge remaining in the battery pack continues to drop, the
computer eventually enters a
critical low-battery condition.
When the computer is in Windows or standby and enters a critical
low-battery condition:
■
If hibernation is enabled, the system initiates hibernation.
Some unsaved work may be lost.
■
If hibernation is disabled, the computer remains briefly in
standby, and then shuts down. All unsaved work is lost.
Hibernation is enabled by default. To be sure that hibernation
remains enabled, select
Start > Control Panel > Performance
and Maintenance > Power Options
icon >
Hibernate
tab. If
hibernation is enabled, the
Enable hibernation
check box is
selected.
