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.
