Mobile Computing 95 Charging batteries To replace the main battery, use an identical battery that you can purchase through the Toshiba Accessories Catalog. Maximizing battery life A main battery can be recharged many times. Gradually over time it will lose its ability to hold a charge. To maximize the life of your main battery: Avoid leaving the computer plugged in and unused for more than a few hours. Overcharging the main battery may shorten its life. If you are not going to use the computer for a long period of time, remove the battery. Alternate between batteries if you have a spare. Make sure your computer is turned off or in Hibernation mode when you are replacing the battery. Store spare batteries in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight. Charging batteries The main battery needs to be charged before you can use it to power the computer. You can charge the battery using your computer, or you can use an optional battery charger. CAUTION: 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 through the Toshiba Accessories Catalog. Part I: Getting to Know Your Computer
