Taking care of your battery
RG 5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3.3
Do not incinerate a spent battery, as this could cause it to 
explode and release caustic liquid.
If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately. 
Use protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
To replace the main battery, use an identical battery that you can purchase through the Toshiba Web site at accessories.toshiba.com.
A reverse polarity condition should be avoided with all 
batteries. The main battery is designed so that it cannot 
be installed in reverse polarity. 
Charge the battery only in the computer or in a battery 
charger designated as an approved option.
When you install the battery pack, you should hear a 
click when it is seated properly.
Do not expose the battery pack to fire. The battery pack 
could explode.
Maximizing battery life
To maximize the life of your battery pack:
At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a 
power source and operate it on battery power until the 
battery pack fully discharges. Before doing so, follow the 
steps below:
1
Turn off the computer’s power.
2
Disconnect the AC adapter and turn on the 
computer’s power. If it does not turn on, go to step 4.
3
Operate the computer on battery power for five 
minutes. If the battery pack has at least five minutes 
of operating time, continue operating until the battery 
pack is fully discharged. If the battery light flashes or 
there is some other warning to indicate a low battery, 
go to step 4.
