Charging batteries
The main 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
.
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 main battery
charges whether the computer is on or off.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When your computer is using all of the
power provided by the AC adapter to run applications,
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery cannot
occur. Your computer's Power Management utility can be used
to select a power level setting that reduces the power required
for system operation and will allow the battery to recharge.
NOTE
