Maximizing battery life

A high-capacity battery pack can be recharged many times. Over
time it will gradually lose its ability to hold a charge. To maximize
the life of your battery:
Avoid leaving the computer plugged in and unused for more

than a few hours. Overcharging the battery may shorten its
life.
If you are not going to use the computer for a long period of

time, remove the main battery, and the secondary battery (if
fitted).
Alternate between batteries if you have a spare.

Make sure your computer is turned off or in Hibernation

mode when you are replacing a battery.
Store spare batteries in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

NOTE: For optimum DVD performance, Toshiba
recommends that you play DVDs while running on AC power
rather than on battery power.
NOTE: Battery charge time may vary depending on the
applications, power management settings, and features
used.

Charging batteries

The main battery and the optional secondary battery need to be
charged before you can use them to power the computer.
