Just charge it up (it will arrive at about 50%) and then proceed to Callibrate the Battery.

During the initial charge you can use the laptop; it really doesn't make a huge difference.

Charge to 100%, unplug it, and run the battery to 0%.

i think ppl are quite paranoid about the charge... i mean, sure calibrate is important, but how to charge, on or off, to how much and etc is just paranoid... understandable, but paranoid

(yes, this is my 1000th post)
