How To Charge And Discharge A New Laptop Battery. For the sake of this discussion I will use the of charge a full battery would be 100. You will see a graph that will show the battery discharging.

However if the battery came separately there are cases where the battery was stored in the warehouse for some time. As such I have to discharge it completely and then charge it. You can recharge your battery whether the battery is fully drained or not.
A laptop battery can be charged 300-1000 times.
A 24-hour charge makes sure the battery is full and helps with the batterys life expectancy. I just bought my son a new laptop for his birthday. As stated above keeping your laptop plugged in all the time wont necessarily harm your battery although laptop batteries do have a finite number of charge-discharge cycles so allowing your battery to completely discharge will take away from its originally-intended lifespan. That said most laptops now have clever battery charging algorythms and it hardly makes a difference to battery life if you keep the battery in.
