    Does anyone know what the lifespan is?
    Also I need to know how long does the battery last when I am using the laptop with power settings to low when I am not gaming?

    When I first get the laptop, do I have to charge the batteries? Or does it come charged already?

    My question is sometimes batteries have to be charged for about 48 hours before first use, thats why I was asking.
