Power
AC Adapter
- AC adapter: This ac-to-dc converter supplies the necessary power to the computer. The ac adapter also charges the battery pack when it is installed in the computer.
- Universal AC adapter: 90 W, 2-pin / 3-pin
- (Click here for more information)
- Universal AC adapter: 65 W 2-pin/3-pin

Battery
power management, battery conditioning and other customer preferences.
- The battery pack is an internal power source to the computer when the AC adapter is not available. The battery pack is rechargeable and is charged using the AC adapter with the system.
- You can determine how much battery power remains by using the Fuel-Gauge ThinkPad utility program. This displays the percent charge remaining, whether one or two batteries are in the system.
- Lithium Ion 4-cell, 6-cell, or 9-cell, supports optional external battery (0A36280) as 2nd battery
- Battery life:
- 4-cell: up to 4.1 hr;
- 6-cell: up to 9.2 hr;
- 9-cell: up to 13.8 hr;
- external battery: up to 9.4 hr;
- 9-cell plus external battery: up to 23.2 hr

Security
System
- Power-on password,
- Hard disk password
- Supervisor password
- Security keyhole
- Trusted Platform Module, TCG 1.2-compliant
- UPEK Fingerprint reader on palm rest
- Swipe sensor
- LED indicator
- Power On Authentication
- Supports the security chip
Password
- A Power-on password (POP) protects the system from unauthorized use. If a POP is set, the password prompt appears:
- Each time the system is turned on
- When the system is returned to normal operation from suspend mode
- A Supervisor Password provides a higher level of security than the POP. The Supervisor Password protects the system functions from being used by unauthorized users,and protects the hardware configuration from unauthorized modification. The Supervisor Password prompt appears:
- When the BIOS setup screen is accessed.
- A Hard Drive Password (HDP) protects hard drive data from unauthorized users. Once HDP is set, data on the hard drive cannot be accessed without the correct HDP. Because the HDP is stored in the hard drive, the data remains protected even if the hard drive is removed to another system. The HDP password prompt appears:
- Each time the system is turned on.
