First Charge

[RustyFox]

Quick question, do I need to do anything in particular in terms of first charge when I get my new MBP? Or can I just use it straight away?

Nope, just use it.

Nope, just use it.

Oh ok, no need to do a long first charge etc?

Nope. For this generation of batteries the general consensus seems to be to just use them and not worry about it.

OK thanks, I was still under the impression I needed to do something like charge it for 10 hrs! Lol

Nah, that was the old Nickel-Cadmium batteries, they really sucked. Todays Lithium-Ion don't care when you charge them and don't degrade like the old ones did, so you're good to go.
