Determining remaining battery power
Wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer before
trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The computer
needs this time to check the battery’s remaining capacity and
perform its calculations.
1 Click Start, Control Panel, Performance and
Maintenance, and then Toshiba Power Saver.
The TOSHIBA Power Saver Properties window appears.
The remaining battery charge is indicated on the left side of
the dialog box.
With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery’s capacity
gradually decreases. A frequently used older battery does not
power the computer for as long as a new battery, even when
both are fully charged.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at
low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if
you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based
on your current rate of power use and other factors such as the
age of the battery.
What to do when the main battery runs low
When the main battery runs low you can:
❖
Plug the computer into an external power source and
recharge the main battery
❖ Place the computer into Hibernation mode and replace
the main battery with a charged spare
