Charging batteries
The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to
power the computer.
Never leave batteries in the battery charger for more than a
week at a time. Doing so may reduce the potential charge of
the battery.
Always use the battery charger specified by Toshiba. You can
order a Toshiba battery charger from Toshiba’s Web site at
accessories.toshiba.com.
Battery charge time may vary depending on the applications,
power management settings, and features used.
Charging the main battery
To charge the main battery while it is in your computer, plug
the computer into a live electrical outlet. The battery charges
whether the computer is on or off.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the battery cannot occur
when your computer is using all of the power provided by the
AC adaptor to run applications, features, and devices. Your
computer’s Power Saver utility can be used to select a power
level setting that reduces the power required for system
operation and will allow the battery to recharge.
The battery may not start charging immediately under the
following conditions:
❖ The battery is extremely hot or cold.
To ensure that the battery charges to its full capacity, wait
until it reaches room temperature (50 to 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, 10 to 26 degrees Celsius).
