The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your battery 
and prolong its life.

Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power 
cable/cord plug from the plug socket and stop using the computer if 
you observe any of the following conditions:

❖

Offensive or unusual odor

❖

Excessive heat

❖

Discoloration

❖

Deformation, cracks, or leaks

❖

Smoke

❖

Other unusual events during use, such as abnormal sound

Do not expose the computer to fire. The battery could explode

Do not turn on the computer’s power again until an authorized 
Toshiba service provider has checked it for safety. Continued use 
could cause a fire or rupture possibly resulting in serious injury or 
computer failure including but not limited to the loss of data.

Fully discharging your battery pack will allow better accuracy of 
the battery meter.

To fully discharge your battery pack:

❖

Periodically, disconnect the computer from a power source and 
operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully 
discharges.

❖

If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.

❖

If you will not be using the system for an extended period, 
more than one month, remove the battery pack.

❖

Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct 
sunlight.
