I have received a new laptop battery as my old one became useless. In the instructions provided by the shop I got the battery from (not from the instructions provided by the battery manufacturers), they have said that before using the battery for normal use, make sure to discharge the battery fully, then recharge it full. Do these 2 steps 5 times to get the best out of the battery.
Is this true, or is the shop keeper just trying to reduce the life of the battery so I buy another one from him sooner rather than later?
