Charging batteries<br />
Power management<br />
Your computer ships with the power management options preset<br />
to a configuration that will provide the most stable operating<br />
environment and optimum system performance for both AC power<br />
and battery modes.<br />
Using additional batteries<br />
Changes to these settings may result in system performance or<br />
stability issues. Users who are not completely familiar with the power<br />
management component of the system should use the preset<br />
configuration. For assistance with setup changes, contact Toshiba’s<br />
Customer Support Center.<br />
In addition to the main battery, you may also have an optional<br />
secondary battery (not included with your computer). If you travel<br />
and need to work for many hours without an AC power source, you<br />
may purchase a battery module for use in the computer, or carry<br />
additional charged battery packs with you. You can then replace a<br />
discharged battery and continue working.<br />

Charging batteries<br />
NOTE<br />
The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to power the<br />
computer.<br />
Never leave batteries in the battery charger for more than a week at a<br />
time. Doing so may reduce the potential charge of the battery.<br />
Always use the battery charger specified by Toshiba. You can order a<br />
Toshiba battery charger from Toshiba’s Web site at<br />
accessories.toshiba.com.<br />
Battery charge time may vary depending on the applications, power<br />
management settings, and features used.
