Just put a new battery in my old laptop. Lithium Ion.
(1st charge) The battery instructions said to charge overnight (I charged for 27hr).
(1st discharge) The instructions said to fully discharge it. I ran it down to 1%.
(2nd charge) After several hours of charging it did not go above 96%. I charged it with the laptop turned on so I could monitor the % charge.
(2nd discharge) It is currently on it 2nd discharge.
On the first discharge should I have run the unit till it failed due to lack of power? It shut down at some % maybe 4 (do not recall). Started it back up and ran it till it showed 1%.
Should I be worried that it did not reaching 100% on the second recharge?
