Manage power
Use the information in this section to achieve the best balance between performance and power efficiency.

Rechargeable battery pack

Your computer includes a built-in, rechargeable battery pack that makes mobile computing a reality. When
the computer is plugged into an electrical outlet, the battery charges. If you use the computer when you
don't have access to an electrical outlet, the battery discharges to supply electricity that the computer
system requires for operation.

You can charge the battery any time you want. The battery packs of Lenovo computers support multiple
charging modes that are suitable for different power usage habits. You can switch the battery’s active
charging mode in Lenovo Vantage, Lenovo PC Manager, or Legion Zone.

24 User Guide
Battery charging is also affected by its temperature. The recommended temperature range for charging the
battery is between 10°C (50°F) and 35°C (95°F).

Note:
You can check the battery temperature in Lenovo Vantage.
To maximize the life of the battery, once the battery is fully charged, it must discharge to 94% or lower
before it will be allowed to recharge again.

Normal mode
Normal mode is the most basic charging mode. In normal mode, it typically takes 2 to 4 hours for the battery
to charge from 0% to 100%.

Rapid charge mode

If you want the battery to be charged faster than in normal mode, switch the battery charging to rapid charge
mode. The following table lists the estimated time needed for batteries in rapid charge mode to be charged
to 80% (or 70%) and 100% respectively.

Table 9. Estimated charge time for batteries in rapid charge mode (Legion 5 15APH9)

Mode Time needed to charge from 0% to 80% Time needed to charge from 0% to 100%

Rapid charge Less than 0.5 hour Less than 1 hour

Table 10. Estimated charge time for batteries in rapid charge mode (Legion 5 15IRX9)

Mode Time needed to charge from 0% to 70% Time needed to charge from 0% to 100%

Rapid charge Less than 0.5 hour Less than 1 hour and 20 minutes

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 (Legion 5 15APH9)

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.

Chapter 3. Explore your computer 25

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, Lenovo PC Manager, or Legion Zone.

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.

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

Using a Power Delivery compliant USB Type-C charger with the

computer
The USB Type-C connector on the rear of the computer conforms to USB Power Delivery Specification. If
you did not carry the included ac power adapter with your computer, you have the option of using a qualified
USB Type-C charger (purchased separately) that is also Power Delivery compliant to charge the computer in
sleep or powered-off state. Lenovo branded USB Type-C chargers with the following listed maximum ratings
are tested to work with the computer. Chargers of other brands with the same ratings should also work but
are not thoroughly tested.
• 20 V, 4.75 A
• 20 V, 5 A
• 20 V, 6.75 A
• 20 V, 7 A

The rear USB Type-C connector is not designed as the primary power input connector. When the computer
is operating, the power supplied by the USB Type-C charger may be insufficient. As a result, the computer
may not operate at its full capacity and the battery charging may stop or is very slow. Use the included ac
power adapter whenever possible.

CAUTION:
When purchasing third-party USB Type-C chargers for use with the computer, choose a product that
is safety approved or certified. A disqualified charger may cause damage to your computer or pose an
electrical hazard. In many countries and regions, manufacturers or importers of electric chargers can
submit their products to a certification authority or approved and recognized testing laboratories.
Such a product usually carries a mark if it was tested to pass relevant quality and safety standards.
For some countries and regions, this certification process is even mandatory. If you live in mainland
China, choose a charger with the “CCC” mark; for users in many European countries, choose one with
the “CE” mark; for users in the United States and Canada, choose a Listed charger that carries a mark
by one of the Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories. (For example, the “UL Listed”mark). For
people living in other countries and regions, consult a qualified electrical engineer for how to select a
safety approved electric charger.

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, Lenovo PC Manager, or Legion
Zone. As a shortcut, you can also use the key combination Fn + Q. The following table lists the available
operation modes on your computer and the recommended conditions for each mode.

Table 11. Operation modes and their recommended usage conditions

Icon Operation mode Recommended conditions

switches between Performance mode and Quiet mode based on the tasks that are 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.
