Table 1-7 Time Required For Charges Of Main Battery; Table 1-8 Rtc Battery Charging/Data Preservation Time - Toshiba PORTEGE R200 Maintenance Manual

1 Hardware Overview
1.6.2 Battery Charging Control
Battery charging is controlled by a power supply microprocessor. The power supply
microprocessor controls power supply and detects a full charge when the AC adaptor and
battery are connected to the computer. The system charges the battery using quick charge or
trickle charge.
1.6.3 RTC Battery
The RTC battery provides the power supply to maintain the date, time, and other system
information in memory. Table 1-8 lists the battery charging time and data preservation times.

When the AC adapter is connected, normal charging is used while the system is
turned on and quick charge is used while the system is turned off or in suspend mode.
(See Table 1-7)
