Power (ExpressCharge)
The Power feature improves the battery life of your system by configuring and switching productivity on usage behaviors. It
learns the battery usage on the system, and uses AI and machine learning models to apply appropriate charge policies. This
feature also identifies opportunities to extend the battery run time.
Dell Optimizer learns the discharge patterns, discharge rates, state of battery health, and classifies the users into the following
four profiles:
● Desktop replacement—Always connected to a power source and rarely uses battery.
● Corridor warrior—A standard office user with a general charge cycle.
● Performance users—Uses processor heavy applications which have a high battery discharge rate.
● Marathon users—Generally discharges the system completely.
Dell Optimizer takes one week to learn the user's behavior, and adjusts their profile after each one-week learning period when
needed.

Optimizing power
1. Go to the home screen and click Power.
The Power section is displayed.
NOTE:
You can enable or disable this feature by using the toggle switch.
2. Click the Adaptive battery performance toggle button to extend the battery run time based on the user behavior.
This setting allows you to extend the battery runtime by intelligently taking battery saving measures. It turns on the windows
power saver mode, reduces the processor power level, and dims the screen.
NOTE:
Some users may experience a temporary impact on system performance when you apply the Adaptive Battery
Performance optimization settings.
