Battery types

The computer has three types of batteries:

Battery packs – main and secondary (option)

RealTimeClock(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.

CAUTION: 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.

CAUTION: 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.
