battery limit.
• Critical battery alarm – activate at 0%

Hibernation/shut down action
If a hibernation or shut down action
is enabled, the low or critical battery
alarm limit should not be greater than
5% to ensure proper operation.
Hibernation and power loss
The battery system has a built-in safety
feature that prevents power loss during
hibernation. When the battery reaches
0% power, it does not turn off. The
battery system puts the computer into
hibernation before cutting off power to
the computer.
