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, see the accessories
information that shipped with your computer or visit the Toshiba
Web site at accessories.toshiba.com. Use only batteries designed
to work with your Toshiba notebook computer.

to work with your Toshiba notebook computer.
To ensure that the battery maintains its maximum capacity, operate
the computer on battery power at least once a month. The Lithium-
Ion battery has no memory effect so it is not necessary to let the
battery fully discharge each time. However, for better accuracy of
the battery meter, it is helpful to fully discharge the battery
periodically. Please see “Maintaining your battery” on page 42 for
procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power,
either through an AC adaptor or a port replicator (if applicable to
your system), for an extended period (more than a month), the
battery may fail to retain a charge. This may shorten the life of the
battery, and may cause the battery meter to be inaccurate.
