Charging the batteries
Using additional batteries
If you spend a lot of time traveling and need to work for
many hours without an AC power source, you may want to
carry additional charged batteries with you. You can then
replace a discharged battery and continue working.
Charging the batteries
NOTE
The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to
power the computer.
To charge the main battery while it is in your computer, plug
the computer into a live electrical outlet. The battery charges
whether the computer is on or off.
Changes to these settings may result in system performance
or stability issues. Users who are not completely familiar with
the power management component of the system should use
the preset configuration. For assistance with setup changes,
contact Toshiba's Global Support Centre.
Battery charge time may vary depending on the applications,
power management settings, and features used.
Never leave batteries in the battery charger for more than a
week at a time. Doing so may reduce the potential charge of
the battery.
Use only battery chargers designed to work with your
notebook computer. You can order a Toshiba battery charger
from Toshiba's Web site at accessories.toshiba.com.
