Battery life may vary depending on applications, power 
management settings and features utilized. Recharge time varies 
depending on usage. The 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, visit the Toshiba Web site at: 

To ensure that the battery maintains its maximum capacity, 
operate the computer on battery power at least once a month 
until the battery is fully discharged. Please see 

 for procedures. If the computer is 

continuously operated on AC power, either through an AC 
adapter or a docking station for an extended period, more 
than a month, the battery may fail to retain a charge. It may 
not function efficiently over the expected life of the battery 
and the battery light may not indicate a low-battery condition.

In addition, the computer has an internal real-time clock 
(RTC) battery. The RTC battery powers the RTC memory, 
which stores your system configuration settings and the 
current time and date for up to a month while the computer is 
turned off. 

For optimum DVD performance, Toshiba recommends that you 
play DVDs while running on AC power rather than on battery 
power.

Your computer ships with the power management options 
preset to a configuration that will provide the most stable 
operating environment and optimum system performance for 
both AC power and battery modes.
