Myleneane asked:

When I'm recharging my laptop's battery, do I need to recharge it completely first? How long will it take to charge the battery after the initial charging and conditioning cycles are done?

Also, if I use the laptop for an extended period of time, it will run out of battery power? Can I keep it plugged into the electrical outlet and just use it like a desktop PC?

Why does my laptop battery flash 25% and 75% when I press the battery button?

IntelligentMon asked:

Lately my laptop computer does not run on its battery power and I was trying to determining whether it was a problem with the battery or with the computer itself. When I press the button that is actually on the battery, it indicates either a 25% or 75% charge and that just doesn't make any sense to me. Does anybody know if this is a problem with the battery or with the laptop computer?

Thenoobie asked:

I have a laptop computer that I've been using instead of a desktop PC. I have an external keyboard and mouse that I use instead of the small laptop ones. I also have a laptop battery that I have not used yet. It is the standard 9-cell battery that came with the computer.

Is there something I I can do now to extend the laptop battery's life before I first charge it since I've been using the computer with the wall charger so far? My brother told me to discharge it completely on a weekly basis and fully recharge it. I have also heard that leaving the laptop plugged in all the time is bad for replacement laptop batties.Is this true? And what should I do regarding my battery if im not really planning on using all that much?

I will be using the laptop solely on battery power when I go on trips and a lot of the time while I'm away at school.

Twisted Lew asked:

Why does the battery icon show up on the bottom of the laptop screen with the other icons when I have the laptop plugged into the charger? Do I have to unplug the laptop from the charger to use it?

Laptop Battery Fire

Here's a controlled demonstration of a Li-Ion battery pack exploding while it is in a laptop computer. This failure was caused by the heat of the electric griddle, but such laptop battery fires could also result from a bad battery pack or battery cells, a faulty PC or battery pack protection circuit, or a the application of a traumatic force to the battery pack.
