The Battery Mode profile in Bitdefender applies product settings and holds down background activity to save battery life. To learn more about Bitdefender Profiles check out this article – What are the Bitdefender Profiles and how do they work?
What is Battery Mode Profile?
Some computer activities, such as online games or video presentations, require increased system responsiveness, high performance, and no interruptions. When your laptop is running on battery power, it is best that unnecessary operations, which consume additional power, be postponed until the laptop is connected back to A/C power.
The Battery Mode profile is specially designed for laptop and tablet users. Its purpose is to minimize both system and Bitdefender’s impact on power consumption when the battery charge level is lower than the default one or the one you select.
Bitdefender automatically switches to Battery Mode when the battery charge level drops below 30%. Likewise, Bitdefender automatically exits Battery Mode when it detects that the laptop is no longer running on a low battery. The following product settings are applied by default when Bitdefender operates in the Battery Mode profile:
• Bitdefender Automatic Update is postponed.
• Scheduled scans are postponed.
• Security Widget is turned off.
