Dell Optimizer Version 2.0 User's Guide

Power (ExpressCharge)

The Power feature improves the battery life of your system by configuring and switching productivity on usage behaviors. It learns the battery usage on the system, and uses AI and machine learning models to apply appropriate charge policies. This feature also identifies opportunities to extend the battery run time.

Dell Optimizer learns the discharge patterns, discharge rates, state of battery health, and classifies the users into the following four profiles:

• Desktop replacement—Always connected to a power source and rarely uses battery.
• Corridor warrior—A standard office user with a general charge cycle.
• Performance users—Uses processor heavy applications which have a high battery discharge rate.
• Marathon users—Generally discharges the system completely.

Dell Optimizer takes one week to learn the user's behavior, and adjusts their profile after each one-week learning period when needed.
