Rtc Battery - Toshiba Satellite Maintenance Manual

NOTE: The time required for normal charge depends on the power consumption by the
system. Using a fluorescent lamp and frequently accessing the disk consumes more power
and lengthens the charge time.
Any of the following can stop battery charge:
1. The battery becomes fully charged.
2. The AC adapter or battery pack is removed.
3. The battery or AC adapter voltage is abnormal.
Detection of full charge
A full charge is detected only when the battery is being charged by quick or normal charge.
A full charge is detected when either of the following conditions is met:
1. The current in the battery charging circuit drops below the predetermined value.
2. The charging time exceeds the fixed limit.
