Using additional batteries
In addition to the main battery, you may also have an optional
second battery (not included with your computer). If you
travel and need to work for many hours without an AC power
source, you may purchase a battery module for use in the
computer, or carry additional charged battery packs with you.
You can then replace a discharged battery and continue
working.

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.
Use only battery chargers designed to work with your
notebook computer. 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.
