    Good morning,

    I have a question which I hope someone will be able to help me.

    I bough a Toshiba SA50-522 in Europe and now I need to purchase a new battery. I am now located in the States and when I called Toshiba America to request for a new battery, they do not know if an american Toshiba battery will work in a Toshiba bought in Europe.

    Any of you know if a toshiba battery made in American will work in Toshiba bought in Europe?

    Do you know of any reliable web sites to buy laptop batteries?

    Thanks a lot for your help in advance,

    Gercat32

    Batteries should be the same no matter where you're located. The only difference would be the adapter due to different voltages, wattage and socket size.

    Thank you!

    So, that means that I need to buy an AC American adapter?

    That should be the plan. Just in case you should note the voltage and amps of your battery when ordering an American adapter from Toshiba.
