When using battery power, you should be aware that the computer automatically enters System Hibernation mode when the remaining battery charge drops to approximately 10%, regardless of the power management setting you select. If your battery level falls to less than 10%, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully charged battery.
