Running the computer on battery power
The computer contains a removable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery
that provides power when you are away from an AC outlet. You can
recharge it many times.
Battery Notice
Battery life may vary considerably from specifications depending
on product model, configuration, applications, power management
settings and features utilized, as well as the natural performance
variations produced by the design of individual components.
Published battery life numbers are achieved on select models and
configurations tested by Toshiba at the time of publication.
Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge
while the computer is consuming full power.
After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at
maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for
all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see the accessories
information that shipped with your computer or visit the Toshiba
Web site at accessories.toshiba.com. Use only batteries designed to
work with your Toshiba notebook computer.
To ensure that the battery maintains its maximum capacity, operate
the computer on battery power at least once a month. The Lithium-
Ion battery has no memory effect so it is not necessary to let the
battery fully discharge each time. However, for better accuracy of
the battery meter, it is helpful to fully discharge the battery
periodically. Please see
procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power,
either through an AC adaptor or a port replicator (if applicable to
your system), for an extended period (more than a month), the
battery may fail to retain a charge. This may shorten the life of the
battery, and may cause the battery meter to be inaccurate.
