Some common Toshiba laptop battery tips include the following suggestions. Always start working with a fully charged battery. Use it frequently during the day to wear it down. Keep your screen on the dimmest possible setting. Turn off all laptop DVD/CD accessories. Keep all the battery contacts in the system clean and ready for use. Get rid of external accessories if possible. Add more memory if you can. If your computer is moving too slow, check to see when you last defragmented the system. This may help the speed of the computer loading documents. Running programs in the background while doing another task may also cause problems.
