Taking care of your 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.
Maintaining your battery
Fully discharging your battery pack will allow better accuracy of 
the battery meter.
To fully discharge your battery pack:
Periodically, 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 adaptor 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 blinks rapidly, indicating a 
low battery, go to step 
4
.
4
Connect the AC adaptor to the computer and the power 
cord/cable to a power outlet. The battery light should blink 
slowly to indicate that the battery pack is being charged.
5
Charge the battery pack until the battery light turns off. 
If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.
If you will not be using the system for an extended period, 
more than one month, remove the battery pack.
If you are not going to use the computer for more than eight 
hours, disconnect the AC adaptor.
Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct 
sunlight.
