Maximizing Your Battery's Potential

Over time, the amount of charge your battery can store may
decrease. If you notice a decrease in your battery life, or as a
monthly maintenance routine, follow these steps:
1 Set the battery save mode to Full Power by following the
steps in "Conserving Power" on page 122.
2 Turn the computer off.
3 Disconnect the power plug.
4 Turn the computer on and leave it on until the battery
completely discharges and the system automatically shuts
down.
5 Remove the battery and wait 30 seconds.
6 Reinsert the battery.
7 Connect the power plug and leave the computer off until
the battery is fully charged (approximately two and a half
hours).
The battery light glows green when the battery is fully
charged.

Additional Power Options

Depending on the amount of time you spend away from external
power sources, the capacity of one battery pack may be sufficient
for your needs. However, if you need more portable power,
Toshiba provides two options:
You can buy extra battery packs.
You can buy a battery charger that charges more than one bat-
tery at a time.
