| 1247476 | 2011-12-06 22:10:00 | So my cousin has just bought a new laptop and I am setting it up for her and I can not remember the proper way to charge the battery for the first time. Is it 24 hrs charge was battery and then charge again and all sweet or something else? Its a toshiba satellite pro l650 if it helps. |

| 1247479 | 2011-12-07 00:51:00 | A lot of 'advice' on batteries comes from the days of NiCds and NiMH e.g on cycling. Forget it. Today's Li-ion btys don't need cycling. Indeed, they last longer by re-charging well before they are discharged. See here for some good info:-batteryuniversity.com For a new laptop, just charge it and enjoy. |
