Disposing of used batteries

Disconnect the AC adapter when the battery is fully
charged. Overcharging makes the battery hot and
shortens life.
If you are not going to use the computer for more than
eight hours, disconnect the AC adapter.
Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct
sunlight.
Disposing of used batteries
The life of a battery pack should last for years, depending on
use. When the battery pack needs replacing, the main battery
light flashes amber shortly after you have fully recharged the
battery.
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability
to hold a charge and you will need to replace them. Under
federal, state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of
old batteries by placing them in the trash.
Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your
local government authority for details regarding where to
recycle old batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If
you cannot find the information you need elsewhere, call
Toshiba at: (800) 457-7777.
The computer's main battery is a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) 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.
