It's a sad fact that though your notebook may be made to last you for at least three years technologically, its Lithium-ion battery would likely have degraded significantly after a year. Or you might have several laptop batteries which can no longer hold any charge but are uncertain how to get rid of them safely.
Well, if you happen to have a Toshiba portable, you are in luck. At the coming PC Show in Singapore, the Japanese manufacturer is offering a free Pala-chan screen cleaner to help you dispose of your unwanted Toshiba power cells in an environmentally safe manner. At the same time, it is offering a trade-in program for certain notebook batteries with discounts of up to 40 percent. For more details, you can access the trade-in offer at http://www.pc.toshiba-asia.com/battery/.
