Conserving Power
It's a fact: if you're running your computer on battery power, your
battery will eventually discharge. However, by using Toshiba's
power-saving options, you can greatly increase the amount of time
before you need to recharge the battery.
These options have been combined into preset battery save modes.
Using one of these modes lets you choose between maximum
power savings and peak system performance. You may also set
individual power-saving options to suit your own needs.
The following sections describe how to choose a battery save
mode and discuss each power-saving option.
The Easy Way—Choosing a Battery Save Mode
There are two battery save modes:
Full power provides maximum system performance, while
using the most power.
Low power decreases battery use by reducing overall system
performance.
The following table shows the battery save option settings for both
battery save modes:
