Returning to work sa ved in Hibernation takes longer than returning to w ork sav ed in Standby , but is faster than returning to your place manually after restarting the notebook. A fully char ged new battery pack can typically support Hibernation for se veral weeks. If you plan to r esume within 2 weeks: Shut do wn the notebook. If possible, connect the notebook to external po wer to k eep an inserted battery pack fully char ged. If the notebook will be disconnected fr om e xternal power for mor e than 2 weeks: T o extend the life of an inserted battery pack, shut do wn the notebook.
