102 Mobile Computing Running the computer on battery power Maximizing battery life A main battery can be recharged many times. Over time it will gradually lose its ability to hold a charge. Battery life and charge time vary depending on the applications, power management settings and features used. 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. NOTE: For optimum DVD performance, Toshiba recommends that you play DVDs while running on AC power rather than on battery power.
