Charging Batteries; Charging The Main Battery - Toshiba Tecra A8 User Manual

Charging batteries

The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to
power the computer.
NOTE

Charging the main battery

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.
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.
Always use the battery charger specified by Toshiba. You can
order a Toshiba battery charger from Toshiba's Web site at
accessories.toshiba.com.
Battery charge time may vary depending on the applications,
power management settings, and features used.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When your computer is using all of the
power provided by the AC adaptor to run applications,
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery cannot
occur. Your computer's Power Saver utility can be used to
select a power level setting that reduces the power required for
system operation and will allow the battery to recharge.
