The Toshiba Power Saver Properties dialog box appears.
Sample Toshiba Power Saver Properties dialog box
The remaining battery charge is indicated on the top-left side
of the dialog box.
With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity
gradually decreases. A frequently used older battery does not
power the computer for as long as a new battery, even when
both are fully charged.
HINT: Wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer
before trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The
computer needs this time to check the battery's remaining
capacity and perform its calculations.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains battery power more
quickly at low temperatures. Check your remaining charge
frequently if you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees
Fahrenheit.
