Charging The Batteries - Toshiba PS630U-G205HV User Manual

5. Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5 and 35
degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak, battery pack
performance might deteriorate and the battery life might be shortened.
6. Be sure to monitor the remaining battery power. If the battery pack and real
time clock battery discharge completely, Standby and Suspend will not
function and data in memory will be lost. Also, the computer might register an
incorrect time and date. In this case, connect the AC adaptor to recharge the
batteries.
7. Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the power
and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery pack while the
computer is in Suspend or Standby mode. Data will be lost.
Note
1. Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is
enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable the
Wake-up on LAN function.
2. To ensure the battery pack maintains maximum capacity, operate the computer
on battery power once a week until the battery pack is fully discharged. Refer
to the section Extending battery life in this chapter for procedures. If the
computer is continuously operated on AC power for an extended period, more
than a week, the battery might fail to retain a charge. It might not function
efficiently over the expected life of the battery pack and the Battery indicator
might not indicate a low-battery condition.
3. After the battery pack is charged, avoid leaving the AC adaptor connected
and the computer turned off for more than a few hours at a time. Continuing to
charge a fully charged battery pack can damage the battery.

Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator flashes
orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue
to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the computer enables
Hibernation mode (so you don't lose data) and automatically turns off.
NOTE: The computer enters Hibernate mode only if Hibernation is
enabled in two places in TOSHIBA Power Saver: the Hibernate window
and the Battery Alarm item of the Alarm window.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.
