Disposing of used batteries safely
You can recharge a battery many times, so it should last for
years. When the battery needs replacing, the battery light
flashes amber shortly after you have fully recharged the
battery
.
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
CAUTION: The computer’s main battery is a lithium ion
(Li-ion) battery, which can explode if not properly replaced,
used, handled, or disposed of. Putting spent batteries in the
trash is not only irresponsible, it may be illegal. Dispose of
the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.
Use only batteries recommended by Toshiba.
The materials that came with your computer may include an
insert regarding the disposal of batteries. If not, check with
your local government agency for information on where to
recycle or dispose of old batteries.
