-      Authors can use {{MediaCapabilitiesInfo/powerEfficient}} in concordance
-      with the Battery Status API [[battery-status]] in order to determine
-      whether the media they would like to play is appropriate for the user
-      configuration. It is worth noting that even when a device is not power
-      constrained, high power usage has side effects such as increasing the
-      temperature or the fans noise.

+      Encoding or decoding is considered <dfn>power efficient</dfn> when the
+      power draw is optimal. The definition of optimal power draw for encoding
+      or decoding is left to the user agent. However, a common implementation
+      strategy is to consider hardware usage as indicative of optimal power
+      draw. User agents SHOULD NOT mark hardware encoding or decoding as power
+      efficient by default, as non-hardware-accelerated codecs can be just as
+      efficient, particularly with low-resolution video. User agents SHOULD
+      NOT take the device's power source into consideration when determining
+      encoding power efficiency unless the device's power source has side
+      effects such as enabling different encoding modules.
