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.
After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability 
to hold a charge and you will need to replace them. Under 
federal, state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of 
old batteries by placing them in the trash.
Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your 
local government authority for details regarding where to 
recycle old batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If 
you cannot find the information you need elsewhere, call 
Toshiba at: 1 (800) 457-7777.
