status icon in the menu bar. The battery charge level displayed is based on the amount
of power left in the battery with the applications, peripheral devices, and system
settings you are currently using. To conserve battery power, close applications and
disconnect peripheral devices not in use, and adjust your Energy Saver settings. For
more information about battery conservation and performance tips, go to

recharges whether the computer is on, off, or in sleep. The battery recharges more
quickly, however, when the computer is off or in sleep.
