Disposing of used batteries safely 
The life of a battery pack should last for years. When the 
battery pack needs replacing, the main battery light flashes 
amber shortly after you have fully recharged the battery
.
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
The computer’s main battery is a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery, 
which can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled, or 
disposed of. Putting spent batteries in the trash is not only 
irresponsible, it may be illegal. Dispose of the battery as 
required by local ordinances or regulations.
Use only batteries recommended by Toshiba.

your local government agency for information on where to 
recycle or dispose of old batteries.
