Charging batteries
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.
Charging the main battery
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 Saver 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.
