    Should I charge the battery fully, first time? There was always I rumor I heard about charging batteries fully the very first time whether it's ipods, cellphones or laptops. I don't know if this is true.

    Memory effect does not effect lithium ion batteries. My laptop battery came fully charged. There is no reason you need to charge it fully before using it.
