Whats the volts a battery charger should put out on a toshiba satellite l305d-5394

it sounds like one of three things:

1. Battery itself no longer functions
2. Laptop Charger has inadequate amperage
3. The motherboard is defective (most likely).

If you have another battery, or a friend with the same battery, you can try that first (and someone else's laptop charger).

If the problem is the motherboard, you can try to have it repaired but I don't trust many companies to do this kind of work. I outsource my motherboard jobs to a company called Laptop Rescue (http://www.laptoprescue.com/laptop-repair-2/). Coincidentally, they also sell laptop chargers in case that's the problem. Hopefully it's just a charger or battery issue and not a motherboard.

POWER SUPPLY & BATTERY PROBLEM
If the laptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out. Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles and will lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% and gradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR The battery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the battery drops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to an unacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced. Rechargeable batteries will fail if stored in a discharged state for long periods.

It's 65 watts and 120 volts

16 volt is unacceptable...Can you try with another Charger ,if possible.?
You power adapter might have failed..

Volts rating is mentioned on the charger specification badge. Usually it's a voltage of approx 18 volts DC.

Try remove the battery then power up, there may be a problem with the battery. When you put it back in afterwards it will work

The highest capacity battery for this notebook without being custom made will be 6.9 amps. Amazon as just about the best deal for $86.95 plus shipping: http://www.amazon.com/TOSHIBA-SATELLITE-L305D-S5895-Battery-Equivalent/dp/B002TMQQ32/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1262943529&sr=8-4

That's just the way Windows works when power is cut off. You should set your Control Panel/Power settings to put the PC into hibernation if it's left alone for too long.
