Hi there, I have bought a new laptop an acer 756 and I was wondering if anybody can give me any advice as to what to do with the battery the first time and how to make sure that it lasts long. What I usually do is this:
-laptop off, charge the battery overnight the first time (I leave it plugged in to the main even if is is charged)
-then the following day, unplug it, switch the laptop on and work on it till the battery goes down. At that point i switch the laptop off and chage it again till battery full. Then I switch the computer on and keep working.
So generally I never leave the computer on while charging, at least fr the first few months
Any advice really welcome
thanks
