[. . . ] TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based on your current rate of power use and other factors such as the age of the battery.

Put the computer in Hibernation mode and replace the main battery with a charged spare. 118 Mobile Computing Monitoring main battery power Connect the computer to the optional high-capacity battery. 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 Standby mode and turns itself off. Standby mode keeps track of where you were so, when you turn on the power again, you can continue where you left off. The computer stores information on what you were doing until the main battery runs out of power. 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. Setting battery alarms 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. Remove all cables connected to the computer.
