TECHNICAL NOTE: Depending on your system, the RTC battery may only charge while the computer is turned on.
Power management
Your computer ships with the power management options preset to a configuration that will provide the most stable operating environment and optimum system performance for both AC power and battery modes.
Changes to these settings may result in system performance or stability issues. Users who are not completely familiar with the power management component of the system should use the preset configuration. For assistance with setup changes, contact Toshiba’s Customer Support Center.
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.

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.
NOTE Battery charge time may vary depending on the applications, power management settings, and features used.
