The computer’s RTC battery is a vanadium-lithium (V-Li) battery
and should be replaced only by your dealer or by a Toshiba service
representative. The battery contains lithium and can explode if
not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the
battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.
Care and Use of the Battery Pack
The battery pack is a vital component of portable computing. Taking proper care of it will
help assure longer operating time on battery power as well as a longer life for your battery
pack. Follow the instructions in this section carefully to assure safe operation and maximum
performance.
Safety Precautions
1. Never try to disassemble the battery pack.
2. Do not overcharge, short circuit, reverse charge, mutilate or incinerate the battery. Any
one of the above actions could result in the release of toxic materials, release of hydrogen
and/or oxygen or an increase in the battery's surface temperature.
3. If the battery has leaked or been vented, it should be replaced immediately. Use
protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
4. When it becomes necessary to replace the main battery, it must be replaced only by an
identical battery from the same manufacturer. Only one battery can be installed in the
T2150CD series at a time; however, if batteries for the computer are connected in series
for other use, it is recommended that all batteries be replaced at the same time.
5. Reverse polarity should be avoided with all batteries. The T2150CD series main battery
is designed so that it cannot be installed in reverse polarity.
Charging the Batteries
When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery LED flashes orange
indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the
computer while the Battery LED flashes, the computer enables resume mode (so you don’t
lose data) and automatically turns off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.
