6 Managing power
Your computer can operate on either battery power or external power. When the computer is only
running on battery power and an AC power source is not available to charge the battery, it is
important to monitor and conserve the battery charge. Your computer supports power plans to
manage how your computer uses and conserves power so that you can balance computer
performance with power conservation.
