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. Chapter 2. Get started with your computer 19 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. 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.
