Charging the batteries
Battery charge time may vary depending on the applications,
power management settings, and features used.
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.
Use only battery chargers designed to work with your
notebook computer. You can order a Toshiba battery charger
from Toshiba’s Web site at accessories.toshiba.com.

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: When your computer is using all of the
power provided by the AC Adaptor to run applications,
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery can not
occur. Your computer's Power Saver 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.
The main battery light ( ) glows amber while the battery is
being charged, and glows green when it is fully charged.
