Battery Settings Group Policies

Customize Battery Settings using this policy group. Select a battery setting, and then select an option (User Controlled, Standard, ExpressCharge™, Adaptive, Custom, or Primarly AC Use) from the drop-down list.

Start/stop values can be set if the Charge Mode setting is set to Custom. Values may vary between different systems. If a specified value is not within the client system’s minimum or maximum capabilities, the client system's minimum or maximum value will be used. When specifying minimum and maximum values, keep in mind:

  • Minimum start value is 50%

  • Maximum stop value is 95%

  • Start and stop values must differ by more than 5%

  • NOTE: Invalid settings will be ignored, and not honored.
  • NOTE: When Custom is selected, both the Start Charging and Stop Charging values must be set.
  • NOTE: When Lock current BIOS setting is selected, the UI displays the current BIOS battery setting as read-only.
  • NOTE: Restricting settings via group policy does not change the current battery settings in the Dell Command | Power Manager UI or system BIOS. 
The system administrator can configure the Battery Settings policy to display or hide the available battery settings on the UI.
