<question>
<para>Why does the battery icon keep changing?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>The battery icon changes appearance depending on whether your computer is plugged in or running on the battery. It indicates whether your battery is charging or is fully charged. The battery icon also indicates the remaining battery charge in 10-percent increments and changes appearance if the battery charge reaches low and critical levels. The icon also changes appearance if no battery is detected.</para>

The battery icon pulses briefly when you first plug in your computer. While the battery is charging, the battery icon fills at 10-percent increments, starting at 10 percent. If the battery icon is not filling, the battery might not be reporting a charging state. If your computer is plugged in for a long time and the battery level remains low, there might be a problem with your computer hardware. If you have an older battery, it might be fully charged, but the full charge doesn't appear as 100 percent.</para>

<question>
<para>Why does the time remaining on the battery meter change drastically sometimes?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>Power consumption varies constantly, depending on what you're doing and how long you spend doing it. For instance, watching a DVD consumes considerably more battery power than reading and writing e‑mail. For these reasons, the battery meter often lags in reporting the charge and the estimated time remaining.</para>

</introduction>
<faqEntry expandCollapse="collapse">
<question>
<para>What's the difference between sleep, hibernate, and hybrid sleep?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
<newTerm>Sleep</newTerm> is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer into the sleep state is like pausing a DVD player: The computer immediately stops what it’s doing and is ready to start again when you want to resume working.</para>
<para>
<newTerm>Hibernation</newTerm> is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer. Of all the power-saving states in <notLocalizable>Windows</notLocalizable>, hibernation uses the least amount of power. On a laptop, use hibernation when you know that you won’t use your laptop for an extended period and won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.</para>
<para>
<newTerm>Hybrid sleep</newTerm> is designed primarily for desktop computers. Hybrid sleep is a combination of sleep and hibernate—it puts any open documents and programs in memory and on your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state so that you can quickly resume your work. That way, if a power failure occurs, <notLocalizable>Windows</notLocalizable> can restore your work from your hard disk. When hybrid sleep is turned on, putting your computer into sleep automatically puts your computer into hybrid sleep. Hybrid sleep is typically turned on by default on desktop computers.</para>

To turn on sleep, restart your computer, and then enter the BIOS setup.

<para>You can adjust how long your computer waits before sleeping or hibernating—or prevent it from turning itself off altogether. But be careful.

<question>
<para>My laptop shuts down or goes into hibernation too soon after the low-battery notification appears, or the low-battery notification never appears.</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
The remaining charge on your battery might be very low, or your battery might not be holding a charge very long. By
default, the low-battery notification appears when the charge
reaches 10 percent, and a reserve battery warning appears when the charge reaches 7 percent. When the battery charge reaches 5 percent, you're at the critical-battery level, and your laptop goes into hibernation. On a laptop with an older battery that has less storage capacity, a low-battery notification at 10 percent charge and the reserve battery warning at 7 percent charge might not give you enough time to
save your work and log off. In this case, consider increasing the percentage of the Low and Reserve battery level setting.</para>

<para>A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manage how your computer uses power.

<para>The only power plans that you can delete are the plans that you create and any additional plans that are provided by the computer manufacturer. You can't delete the Balanced, Power saver, or High performance plans, or the plan that you're currently using (the active plan).

<title> How accurate is the battery meter?</title>

<notLocalizable>__elbasuer__</notLocalizable>
</para>
<para>The accuracy of what the battery meter reports—what percentage of a full charge remains and how long you can use your laptop before you must plug it in—depends on several factors. Most of these factors fall into the following two categories:</para>
<para>
<leadInPhrase class="other">What you use the laptop for.</leadInPhrase> Because some activities drain the battery faster than others (for example, watching a DVD consumes more power than reading and writing e‑mail), alternating between activities that have significantly different power requirements changes the rate at which your laptop uses battery power. This can vary the estimate of how much battery charge remains.</para>
<para>
<leadInPhrase class="other">Battery hardware and sensor circuitry.</leadInPhrase> Newer, "smart" batteries are equipped with circuitry that calculates the measurements of charge remaining and reports the information to the battery meter. Older batteries use less sophisticated circuitry and might be less accurate.</para>
<alertSet class="note">
<title>Note</title>
<alert>
<para>Most laptops use lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Like most batteries, lithium-ion batteries gradually lose their capacity to store energy as they age, whether or not you charge them. Over time, this change in storage capacity significantly affects the accuracy of the battery meter. If you frequently drain a lithium-ion battery, and then recharge it, it can quickly lose its ability to hold a charge, which affects the accuracy of the battery meter. The practice of completely draining the battery, and then fully charging it, is advice that applied to nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries and, to a lesser extent, nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries last longer if you charge them often, a little at a time, to maintain a minimum charge of about 40 percent capacity.</para>

<para>A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how your computer uses and conserves power. Power plans can save energy, maximize system performance, or balance energy conservation with performance. The default power plans—Balanced and Power saver—meet most people's needs. But you can modify settings for existing plans or create your own plan.</para>

<para>The battery icon is always empty.</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>An empty battery icon (one that has no color) indicates that your computer is running on battery power, but the charge can't be detected or measured. You might need to replace the battery, or there might be a problem with your computer hardware.
