Protecting the battery using PC Manager

The actual operations vary depending on the version of PC Manager that has been installed on the computer.

When connected to a charger, the computer can be charged to a maximum battery level that has been set in advance, effectively reducing the number of charging cycles, length of each cycle, and thereby prolonging the battery life. PC Manager can adjust battery consumption based on the settings in Battery protection. There are three modes available in PC Manager:

• Home: Select this mode if the computer will be charged for a long time.
  • When the computer is connected to the power supply in this mode for the first time, the computer automatically starts charging when the battery level is lower than 70%, and it will automatically stop charging when the battery level reaches 70%.
  • When being charged in this mode, the computer automatically starts charging when the battery level is lower than 40%, and it will automatically stop charging when the battery level reaches 70%.
• Office: Select this mode to plug in or unplug the charger whenever you want.
  • When the computer is connected to the power supply in this mode for the first time, the computer automatically starts charging when the battery level is lower than 90%, and it will automatically stop charging when the battery level reaches 90%.
  • When being charged in this mode, the computer automatically starts charging when the battery level is lower than 70%, and it will automatically stop charging when the battery level reaches 90%.
• Travel: Suitable for when a power adapter is unavailable for a long period of time. In this mode, charging starts when the battery drops below 95% and stops when it is 100% charged.

To enable different modes in PC Manager, perform the following:

1. Open PC Manager, click the Settings icon in the top-right corner, and select Settings.

2. Click Battery (Power for some versions of PC Manager) and enable Battery Protection.

3. Select your desired battery mode.
   

   When Home or Office is selected, the battery of your computer cannot be fully charged.
