-title: Chrome OS Battery Life Overview
----
-
-We design Chromium OS with the philosophy that devices provide users “all-day
-battery life.” Because the notion of all-day battery life can be subject to
-interpretation, we use the philosophy to define a usage model for
-battery-powered devices. This model helps us define user expectations, and
-provide battery recommendations for Chromium OS devices.
-
-The Battery Usage Model
-
-We don’t have a say in how users use their device. Users can and will use their
-devices in diverse situations, with variable access to charging power. Moreover,
-as devices and their uses change, the power requirements for systems evolve. As
-such, Chromium OS provides tests and diagnostics which allow both users and
-device manufacturers to ensure that they can achieve our notion of all-day
-battery life.
-
-Active use and standby-time are different. While some devices, notably mobile
-phones, blend battery life usage between active and standby states, we believe
-these states are separate, important elements of all-day battery life. We define
-active use as situations in which a user is “working away from the plug.” We
-define standby time as situations in which the user is “idle away from the
-plug.” We expect a user’s typical day to include periods of both, but that the
-blend of states may vary day to day.
-
-Typical active-use should leave reasonable standby available. Importantly,
-adhering to our notion of all-day battery life means that a user should be able
-to actively work for many hours and still have sufficient standby time to reach
-a power source and recharge the device. Our belief is that standby power
-consumption should be at least an order of magnitude less that active-use power
-consumption. Thus, if a device has been used for 80% of active-use time, the
-remaining 20% should translate into a substantial amount of standby time in
-which the device can be recharged without forced shutdown.
-
-Shutdown provides longevity beyond typical use. While a device is shutdown, it
-can conserve most of its battery life. While our notion of all-day battery life
-does not assume shutdowns, we believe that the fast-booting nature of Chromium
-OS should make it easy for users to strongly preserve battery life when they
-desire.
-
-A Typical Use Case
-
-Our philosophy, and its derived battery usage model, is well illustrated by an
-example. Consider a typical Chromium OS user, whose device achieves the average
-10 hours of active-use battery life. Our usage model expects that this user:
-
- Can use their device in active mode for an 8-hour workday, and have 20% of
- battery remaining.
-
- The remaining 20% of battery life should translate into more than a day of
- standby time; roughly 30 hours.
-
-Battery Recommendations
-
-Given the philosophy and usage model, Chromium OS recommends that device
-batteries be sized such that an average of 10 active hours can be achieved on
-the device before recharging. Thus, if a device consumes 4 Watts for each hour
-of active time, a 40 Watt-Hour battery is recommended. \ No newline at end of file
