In addition to the main battery, you may also have an optional 
secondary battery (not included with your computer). If you travel 
and need to work for many hours without an AC power source, you 
may purchase a battery module for use in the computer, or carry 
additional charged battery packs with you. You can then replace a 
discharged battery and continue working.

For more information on batteries and accessories, see 

.

The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to power the 
computer.

Never leave batteries in the battery charger for more than a week at a 
time. Doing so may reduce the potential charge of the battery.

Always use the battery charger specified by Toshiba. You can order a 
Toshiba battery charger from Toshiba’s Web site at 

.

Battery charge time may vary depending on the applications, power 
management settings, and features used.

To charge the main battery while it is in your computer, plug the 
computer into a live electrical outlet. The battery charges whether 
the computer is on or off.

TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the battery cannot occur when 
your computer is using all of the power provided by the AC adaptor to 
run applications, features, and devices. Your computer's Power Options 
utility can be used to select a power level setting that reduces the power 
required for system operation and will allow the battery to recharge.

NOTE
