Battery Mode

Battery Mode is an easy way to switch the power modes. The power management modes let you choose whether you need more performance or more battery life.

• Turn on Power Saving Mode, and your notebook can last up to twice as long!
• Not enough performance? System lags? FPS problems in games? Turn on High Performance mode to turn off all power saving features, so you get the best performance possible.
• Activate "Balanced" mode and the system will manage the power itself.
