Since the previous forum section where this posted is for custom build logs, I moved this over to the correct section.

Congratulations. You don't need to charge up or do anything on a brand new battery. This is not 1999.

 

Most laptops now even have an overcharge protection where you will see in the taskbar if you hover your mouse cursor over the power icon, that it may say 94% (not charging) as in, it will not charge to full and keep charging to prevent the battery be constantly get charged and reduce its lifespan.

 

Just hover over your power icon in the taskbar and make sure that it says NOT CHARGING after it's almost full and you're good to go.

 

Some laptops which don't do this by default have an option toe enable this feature. On Clevo laptops it's called FLEXI Charge. On Alienware laptops it's called Power options: Standard/Performance
