Running the computer on battery power
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.

Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge

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.
