Ok, so my sister is going off to uni, and she's got a new laptop. It's a couple of days until she "gets" it (It's her birthday on thursday) but I'm wondering what should I do with the battery? I've tried searching Google, but I can't find anything.

What should you do to a new laptop battery?

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

Read your manual, it usually explains Wink

.

One hint: if you use the wire for long periods of time, then take the battery out.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Yeah, Our new laptop's Battery furiously heats up. Neutral

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

Also leaving the laptop plugged in with the battery fully charged often shortens the batteries lifespan...

I think he means initially. I would recommend charging for at least a day, maybe more, after that regular charging/recharging. Check the type, Lithium-based batteries don't have memory so can be charged from any level, Nickel-based need to be drained fully else they lose charge faster.
