Selecting a power plan
A power plan manages how the computer uses power and helps you conserve power and maximize
performance. To change the power plan, from the Start screen, type power, select Settings, and
then select Power Options from the list of applications.
The following power plans are available:
●
HP Recommended (recommended). Automatically balances performance with energy
consumption on capable hardware.
●
Power saver. Saves power by reducing system performance and screen brightness where
possible.
●
High performance. Favors performance, but may use more energy. Your battery will not last as
long between charges using this power plan. Click Show additional plans to select this power
plan.
You can also create your own power plan and customize it to how you use the computer for your
needs.
To use Power Options, from the Start screen, type power, select Settings, and then select Power
Options from the list of applications.
Running on battery power
When a charged battery is in the tablet and the tablet is not plugged into external power, the tablet
runs on battery power. If the tablet has a charged battery installed and the AC adapter is
disconnected from the tablet, the tablet automatically switches to battery power and the display
brightness decreases to conserve battery life. The battery in the tablet slowly discharges when the
tablet is off and unplugged from external power. When the tablet is attached to the keyboard dock,
the system is powered by the keyboard dock’s battery until the battery reaches a critical level in the
keyboard dock. At that time, the system switches to the tablet’s battery.
Computer battery life varies, depending on power management settings, programs running on the
computer, display brightness, external devices connected to the tablet, and other factors.
NOTE: There is a secondary battery in the keyboard dock. When the tablet is attached to the
keyboard dock, the system is powered by the keyboard dock's battery.
Factory-sealed battery
To monitor the status of your battery, or if the battery is no longer holding a charge, run Battery Check
in HP Support Assistant. To access battery information, select HP Support Assistant app from the
Start screen, and then select Battery and performance. If Battery Check indicates that your battery
should be replaced, contact support.
