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.
