Battery life may vary considerably from specifications 
depending on product model, configuration, applications, 
power management settings and features utilized, as well as 
the natural performance variations produced by the design of 
individual components. Published battery life numbers are 
achieved on select models and configurations tested by 
Toshiba at the time of publication. See "Detailed Specs" for 
specific battery measurement test. Recharge time varies 
depending on usage. Battery may not charge while the 
computer is consuming full power. 

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 

To ensure that the battery maintains its maximum capacity, 
operate the computer on battery power at least once a month 
until the battery is fully discharged. Please see 

 for procedures. If the computer is 

continuously operated on AC power, either through an AC 
adapter or a docking station (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 
the battery light may not indicate a low-battery condition.

For optimum DVD performance, Toshiba recommends that you 
play DVDs while running on AC power rather than on battery 
power.

In addition to the main battery, you may also have a second 
battery installed in the Slim SelectBay. If you travel and need 
to work for many hours without an AC power source, you 
may purchase a battery module for use in the computer’s
