Disposing of used batteries safely

Disposing of used batteries safely
You can recharge a battery pack many times, so it should last
for years. When the battery pack needs replacing, the battery
light flashes amber shortly after you have fully recharged the
battery
You must discard a battery pack if it becomes damaged.
CAUTION: The battery pack is a Lithium Ion Polymer (Li-Ion
Polymer) battery, which can explode if not properly replaced,
used, handled, or disposed of. Putting spent batteries in the trash
is not only irresponsible, it may be illegal. Dispose of the battery
as required by local ordinances or regulations.
Use only batteries recommended by Toshiba.
The materials that came with your computer may include an
insert regarding the disposal of batteries. If not, check with
your local government for information on where to recycle or
dispose of old batteries.
