Battery types

„ Battery packs – main and secondary (option)
„ Real Time Clock (RTC) battery
Main battery
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 main battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for
extended use of the computer away from an AC power source.
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.
The main battery recharges the RTC batteries. The main battery
maintains the state of the computer when you enable Resume.
When the computer is powered off in Resume mode, and the AC adaptor
in not connected, the main battery pack and optional secondary battery
pack supply power to maintain data and programs in memory. If the
battery pack(s) is completely discharged, Resume does not function and
the computer loses all data in memory.
The following message appears when you turn on the power:
WARNING: RESUME FAILURE.
PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE.
