Power

When the computer is not plugged into an AC power outlet, the battery
pack is the primary power source. However, your computer also has a
number of other power resources, including an intelligent power supply and
a Real Time Clock (RTC) battery, all of which are interrelated with any one
having the ability to produce apparent power problems.

either setting, the computer will automatically shuts down to prevent any
damage - in this instance all unsaved data in memory will be lost.
