The battery is an essential part of any laptop. It provides the power necessary to use the laptop on the go, making portability possible. It is also essential that the battery be lightweight and have long battery life. The Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS meets both of these qualifications, making it an excellent laptop battery for almost any need.

Manufacturers constantly have to balance a battery’s weight with its output power and battery life, as they are strongly linked. The Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS is very lightweight, at only 0.68 pounds, but its battery life is up to 4 hours, which is longer than the batteries of many competing models. This shows good design on Toshiba’s part. The battery measures 1 inch by 3.2 inches by 4.7 inches, so it doesn’t take up a large part of the design of the laptop, either. The Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS has an output voltage of 10.8V, and a capacity of 4000 mAh. The battery uses 6-cells to provide power. While this gives it shorter battery life than larger 9-cell batteries, it also makes it more portable and lightweight.

Because the Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS is so easily removable, it is easy to carry along a spare battery for when you need extra battery life. Recharge time is around 12 hours, meaning even users who have some access to power outlets during the day may still need an additional battery to make it through an entire work day or very long plane ride. Luckily, the affordable price of the Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS makes owning a spare battery an easy purchase.

Extending the life of the Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS is easy with Toshiba’s Power Saver Utility. The design of Toshiba laptops allows the battery to interface directly with this utility to report on its remaining life, and the laptop can modify settings to extend battery life when needed.

The Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS is an impressive laptop battery with great reliability and a solid, yet lightweight, construction that strikes a great balance between portability and long battery life.
