Charging batteries
Using additional batteries
In addition to the main battery, you may also have an optional
secondary battery (not included with your computer). If you travel
and need to work for many hours without an AC power source, you
may purchase a battery module for use in the computer, or carry
additional charged battery packs with you. You can then replace a
discharged battery and continue working.
For more information on batteries and accessories, see

Charging batteries
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.
Always use the battery charger specified by Toshiba. You can order a
Toshiba battery charger from Toshiba’s Web site at
accessories.toshiba.com.
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 battery charges whether
the computer is on or off.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the battery cannot occur when
your computer is using all of the power provided by the AC adaptor to
run applications, features, and devices. Your computer's Power Options
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.
