recharge it many times.
Battery Notice
Battery life rating is for comparison purposes only, and does not
indicate the battery life that will be obtained by any individual user.
Actual battery life may vary considerably from specifications
depending on product model, configuration, applications, power
management settings and features utilized, as well as the natural
performance variations produced by the design of individual
components. The battery life rating is only achieved on the select
models and configurations tested by Toshiba under the specific test
settings at the time of publication and is not an estimate of a
system’s battery life under any conditions other than the specific
test settings.
Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge
while the computer is consuming full power. After a period of time,
the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity and
will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries. To
purchase a new battery pack, see the accessories information
included with your computer or visit the Toshiba Web site at
accessories.toshiba.com. Use only batteries designed to work with
your Toshiba computer.
