What To Do When The Main Battery Runs Low - Toshiba A105-S4004 - Satellite - Core Duo 1.66 GHz User Manual

The remaining battery charge is indicated on the 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.

What to do when the main battery runs low

When the main battery runs low you can
❖
Plug the computer into an external power source and
recharge the main battery
❖
Place the computer into Hibernation mode and replace
the main battery with a charged spare
❖
Connect the computer to an optional high capacity
battery (if available for your computer)
❖
Save your work and turn off the computer
If you do not manage to do any of these things before the
main battery completely runs out of power, the computer
automatically enters Hibernation mode and turns itself off.
Hibernation mode keeps track of where you were, so that
when you turn on the power again, you can continue where
you left off.
Monitoring main battery power
TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at
low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if
you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based
on your current rate of power use and other factors such as the
age of the battery.
