Battery types
The computer has three types of batteries:
„ Battery pack
„ Real Time Clock (RTC) battery
„ Optional high-capacity battery pack (described in Chapter 8, Optional

Battery pack
When the AC power cord is not connected, the computer’s main power
source is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this
manual as the battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for
extended use of the computer away from an AC power source.
The battery recharges the RTC battery and maintains the state of the
computer when you enable Resume.
The battery pack is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not properly
replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required
by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by
Toshiba as replacements.
