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.
Use only battery chargers designed to work with your 
notebook computer. 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: When your computer is using all of the 
power provided by the AC adapter to run applications, 
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery cannot 
occur. 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.
The battery may not start charging immediately under the 
following conditions:
The battery is extremely hot or cold. 
To ensure that the battery charges to its full capacity, wait until 
it reaches room temperature (50 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, 
10 to 26 degrees Celsius).
