How long to charge laptop battery on first use?

Hey,

Getting a new laptop tomorrow and I was wondering how long a should charge it for before switching it on. I read online that you only need to charge it until its full but I have heard you should charge it like you would with a new phone, about 8 hours or so. So which is it and would it be bad for my battery if I did charge it for 8 hours straight?

Thanks in advance.

Is it bad for a laptop battery, to keep the laptop plugged in after full charge?

My Laptop battery is at full charge, but when I am using it in my bedroom I just keep it plugged in so it won’t use any of my battery life. Do you think it’s bad for the battery to keep the laptop plugged in after the battery is fully charged? I have left my laptop plugged in for days already without using the battery, but I don’t want to kill the battery by doing so. You know what I mean?

Thanks much!

What’s the best way to charge a Lithium-ION battery cell?

I searched around on the Internet for some info about what I need to know, and so far, no such luck, so here goes:
I have a dead Laptop Li-ION battery pack in my possession, and i decided to tear it apart to find out how it works. Much to my suprise, 2 of the 9 cells in the battery pack had some charge left in them, so I destroyed the casing, and circuitry to get the cells out. I did some preliminary research online and found out that lithium is (obviously) very dangerous, even in battery form. Improper charging can cause damage to the cell (best case) to even a thermal runaway reaction leading to an explosion (worst case). Aside from that, lithium is very toxic, so needless to say, very dangerous stuff to play around with.
Which leads me to my question: How should I go about charging these cells to get some use out of them? Or is it just too risky to try? If I should just get rid of them, how should I go about this?
Obviously, I can’t dump these in the land fill, or can I?

What is the best way to charge a Lithium ion laptop battery to extend its life?

I have a DELL Inspiron 1525. Its new and has a 6 cell Li-Ion battery. Should I always keep it connected to the mains, even when its fully charged? Or should I charge fully, disconnect from mains, run it down, then recharge? What will ensure it lasts the longest and still provides me with 3 hours of charge when I need it?
Thanks
