Abstract
A basic input/output system may be configured to, during boot of an information handling system in a pre-operating system environment of the information handling system, calculate an amount of energy required to perform a persistent memory save operation in a persistent memory of the information handling system in order to transfer data from a volatile memory of the persistent memory communicatively coupled to the processor to a non-volatile memory of the persistent memory communicatively coupled to the volatile memory, cause charging of an energy storage device for providing electrical energy to perform persistent memory save operations at least until a charging level of the energy storage device satisfies the amount of energy, and boot to an operating system of the information handling system responsive to the charging level of the energy storage device satisfying the amount of energy.
