Manage power
Use the information in this section to achieve the best balance between
performance and power efficiency.
Rechargeable battery pack
Your computer includes a built-in, rechargeable battery pack that makes mobile
computing a reality. When the computer is plugged into an electrical outlet,
the battery charges. If you use the computer when you don’t have access to an
electrical outlet, the battery discharges to supply electricity that the
computer system requires for operation.
You can charge the battery any time you want. The battery packs of Lenovo
computers support multiple charging modes that are suitable for different
power usage habits. You can switch the battery’s active charging mode in
Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager.
Battery charging is also affected by its temperature. The recommended
temperature range for charging the battery is between 10°C (50°F) and 35°C
(95°F).
Note:
You can check the battery temperature in Lenovo Vantage.
To maximize the life of the battery, once the battery is fully charged, it
must discharge to 94% or lower before it will be allowed to recharge again.
Normal mode
Normal mode is the most basic charging mode. In normal mode, it typically
takes 2 to 4 hours for the battery to charge from 0% to 100%.
Rapid charge mode
If you want the battery to be charged faster than in normal mode, switch the
battery charging to rapid charge mode. The following table lists the typical
time needed for batteries in rapid charge mode to be charged to 80% and 100%
respectively.
Table 9. Reference charge time for batteries in rapid charge mode
Mode| Time needed to charge from 0% to 80%| Time needed to charge
from 0% to 100%
---|---|---
Rapid charge| Less than 1 hour| Less than 2 hours
Conservation mode
If your computer is constantly plugged into an electrical outlet, consider
switching the battery charging to conservation mode. In conservation mode, the
battery will not be fully charged. Instead, the battery’s charge will be kept
within 75%–80%. This is beneficial to the long-term health of the battery.
Note: If you want the battery to be fully charged before bringing the computer
to work, disable conservation mode by switching the battery charging to normal
or rapid charge mode.
Overnight battery charging mode
Some people follow a regular pattern when using their computers. They finish
their workday with the computer at a low battery charge level. They plug in
their computers at night and need the battery to be fully charged the next
morning so they can unplug the computer and bring it to work. These
activities happen at approximately the same time each day. If this sounds like
you, consider enabling overnight battery charging mode for the battery.
Overnight battery charging mode affects battery charging during the night
hours, the time when you’re usually asleep. When it is enabled, the computer
regularly adapts its charging behavior based on observation of when you plug
in the computer at night and unplug it in the morning. During the nighttime,
the battery is charged to a particular range and is kept within that range for
an extended period, before being further charged to 100%. Overnight battery
charging mode ensures safe charging during the night and is beneficial to the
long-term health of the battery.
Note: With overnight battery charging mode enabled, if you break your routine
one day by unplugging the computer much earlier than usual in the morning, you
may find that the battery is not fully charged.
If the battery pack of your computer supports overnight battery charging mode,
it can be enabled in Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager.
Recover full battery capacity
If your computer is constantly plugged in to an electrical outlet and the
battery rarely discharges, the battery may not be charged to its full capacity
even if the battery meter reports 100% charge. You can recover the battery’s
full charging potential simply by discharging and re-charging the battery.
Step 1. Unplug the computer and use it until the battery charge drops below
20%.
Step 2. Plug in the computer and charge the battery to 100%.
Set power button behavior
By default, pressing the power button puts the computer to sleep mode.
However, you can change the power button behavior in Windows Control Panel.
Step 1. Type Control Panel in the Windows search box and then press Enter.
Open the control panel and view by large or small icons.
Step 2. Select the power options and then click to choose what the power
button does.
A power plan
A power plan is a collection of power-saving settings made available by an
operating system. With a power plan, you can set idle time-outs for different
hardware components to enter a low-power state. The default power plan and
some of its idle time-out settings are listed below for computer models pre-
installed with Windows.
The listed settings are active when the computer is connected to an electrical
outlet. If your computer includes a built-in battery pack, a different
collection of time-out settings is set to take effect when the computer is
operating on battery power.
- Default power plan: Balanced
- Turn off the display: after 5 minutes
- Put the computer to sleep: after 5 minutes
Note: To wake the computer from the sleep state, press the power button or any key on the keyboard.
Change or customize a power plan
This operation is applicable to computers with pre-installed Windows.
Step 1. Type power plan in the Windows search box and then press Enter.
Step 2. Customize a power plan of your preference.
System operation modes
Lenovo has preset several modes in which your computer can operate. The
maximum attainable performance, power consumption, and speed limit for the
heat sink fan vary among the different operation modes. Consider the following
conditions when you want to switch operation modes.
- The environment where you use your computer, and
- The tasks running on your computer
You can switch the operation mode in the pre-installed app Lenovo Vantage or
Lenovo PC Manager. As a shortcut, you can also use the key combination Fn + Q.
Three modes are usually available for most Lenovo computers. The following
table lists the operation modes and the recommended conditions for each mode.
Note: The operation modes listed in the table are descriptive and may not
be the same as those displayed by the app.
Table 10. Operation modes and their recommended usage conditions
Operation mode | Recommended conditions |
---|---|
High Performance | • Your computer is plugged into an electrical outlet. |
• You want the best performance, and
• You don’t care if the fan makes a little noise.
Auto (Balance)| You plan to frequently switch between different computer tasks
over a period of time.
Power Saving (Quiet)| • Your computer is operating on battery power, or
• You want the computer to be as quiet as possible.
Note: In Auto (Balance) mode, the computer dynamically switches between High Performance mode and Power Saving (Quiet) mode depending on the tasks running on the computer.
