Charging the batteries
Battery charge time may vary depending on the applications,
power management settings, and features used.
The 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
toshiba.com .
Charging the main battery
To charge the battery, plug the computer into a live wall
outlet. It takes several hours to charge the battery with the
computer off. It takes much longer to charge the battery while
the computer is on.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The battery does not charge while the
computer is consuming full power.
