Disposing of used batteries safely
You can recharge a battery pack many times, so it should last for
years. When the battery pack needs replacing, the battery light
flashes amber shortly after you have fully recharged the battery.
You must also discard a battery pack if it becomes damaged.
WARNING: The battery can explode if not properly handled
or disposed of. Putting spent batteries in the trash is not only
irresponsible, it may also be illegal.
Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or
regulations. Use only batteries recommended by Toshiba as
replacements.
Your company probably has a procedure for dealing with old
batteries. If not, the materials that came with your computer may
include an insert regarding the disposal of batteries. Otherwise,
check with your local government for information on where to
recycle or dispose of old batteries.
