Mode	Time needed to charge from 0% to 50%	Time needed to charge from 0% to 100%
Rapid charge	Less than 1 hour	Less than 2 hours

Note: The estimated charge time assumes that the battery is charged when the PC is in sleep, hibernation, or powered-off state.

Conservation mode
If your computer is constantly plugged into an electrical outlet, consider switching the battery charging to conservation mode. In conservation mode, the battery will not be fully charged. Instead, the battery's charge will be kept within 75%–80%. This is beneficial to the long-term health of the battery.
Note: If you want the battery to be fully charged before bringing the computer to work, disable conservation mode by switching the battery charging to normal or rapid charge mode.

Overnight battery charging mode
Some people follow a regular pattern when using their computers. They finish their workday with the computer at a low battery charge level. They plug in their computers at night and need the battery to be fully charged the next morning so they can unplug the computer and bring it to work. These activities happen at approximately the same time each day. If this sounds like you, consider enabling overnight battery charging mode for the battery.
Overnight battery charging mode affects battery charging during the night hours, the time when you're usually asleep. When it is enabled, the computer regularly adapts its charging behavior based on observation of when you plug in the computer at night and unplug it in the morning. During the nighttime, the battery is charged to a particular range and is kept within that range for an extended period, before being further charged to 100%. Overnight battery charging mode ensures safe charging during the night and is beneficial to the long-term health of the battery.
Note: With overnight battery charging mode enabled, if you break your routine one day by unplugging the computer much earlier than usual in the morning, you may find that the battery is not fully charged.

If the battery pack of your computer supports overnight battery charging mode, it can be enabled in Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager.

Recover full battery capacity
If your computer is constantly plugged in to an electrical outlet and the battery rarely discharges, the battery may not be charged to its full capacity even if the battery meter reports 100% charge. You can recover the battery's full charging potential simply by discharging and re-charging the battery.

1. Unplug the computer and use it until the battery charge drops below 20%.
2. Plug in the computer and charge the battery to 100%.

Set power button behavior

By default, pressing the power button puts the computer to sleep mode. However, you can change the power button behavior in Windows Control Panel.

1. Type Control Panel in the Windows search box and then press Enter. Open the control panel and view by large or small icons.
2. Select the power options and then click choose what the power button does.

A power plan

A power plan is a collection of power-saving settings made available by an operating system. With a power plan, you can set idle time-outs for different hardware components to enter a low-power state. The default power plan and some of its idle time-out settings are listed below for computer models pre-installed with Windows.

The listed settings are active when the computer is connected to an electrical outlet. If your computer include a built-in battery pack, a different collection of time-out settings is set to take effect when the computer is operating on battery power.

• Default power plan: Balanced
• Turn off the display: after 5 minutes
• Put the computer to sleep: after 5 minutes
  Note: To wake the computer from the sleep state, press the power button or any key on the keyboard.

Change or customize a power plan
This operation is applicable to computers with pre-installed Windows.

System operation modes

Lenovo has preset several modes in which your computer can operate. The maximum attainable performance, power consumption, and speed limit for the heat sink fan vary between the operation modes. Consider the following conditions when you want to switch operation modes.

• The environment where you use your computer, and
• The tasks running on your computer

You can switch the operation mode in the pre-installed app Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager. As a shortcut, you can also use the key combination Fn + Q. Three modes are usually available for most Lenovo computers. The following table lists the operation modes and the recommended conditions for each mode.

Note: The operation modes listed in the table are descriptive and may not be the same as those displayed by the app.

Table 9. Operation modes and their recommended usage conditions

Operation mode	Recommended conditions
High Performance	Your computer is plugged into an electrical outlet. You want the best performance, and You don't care if the fan makes a little noise.
Auto (Balance)	You plan to frequently switch between different computer tasks over a period time.
Power Saving (Quiet)	Your computer is operating on battery power, or You want the computer to be as quiet as possible.

Note: In Auto (Balanced) mode, the computer dynamically switches between High Performance mode and Power Saving (Quiet) mode depending on the tasks running on the computer.

Adjustable display refresh rate

Your eyes might not notice it but the content displayed on the computer screen refreshes constantly. Display refresh rate refers to the number of times per second the screen content refreshes itself and is measured in hertz (Hz).
A refresh rate of 60 Hz is adequate for most situations and is energy efficient. However, when viewing videos or playing video games, a higher refresh rate usually provides a smoother viewing experience.
The displays of some Lenovo computers support dual refresh rates. For such a computer, you can manually switch its display to work at either the higher or lower refresh rate. For Windows operation systems, the manual settings are usually found in Settings ➙ System ➙ Display. As a shortcut, you can also use the key combination Fn + R to switch the display refresh rate.
Note: Not all displays support dual refresh rates. If you cannot find settings to change the display refresh rate, the refresh rate of the display might be fixed or cannot be manually changed.
