How long does it take a laptop battery to charge? Its new, I want to fully charge it.
For your first use you must fully drain the laptop battery until the laptop goes into hibernation. After that plug in your charger and allow it to charge for 12 hours or depending on what the technician has told you. 12 hours is the maxmum and you can use it while charging. I'm not saying it would take 12 hours to charge rather it is the first charge to really awaken the ions after a long time. It's better to charge new laptop battery for three times at first. After that it will take less than 2 hours to fully charge your laptop battery.
This is recommended so that the laptop battery will heat up for the time allowing ions to reawaken.
