In fact, it was designed to do just that. While it’s quite likely that the battery will arrive with only a partial charge, the AC adapter/battery charger will supply plenty of current for operating the laptop and charging the battery at the same time. Just make sure he plugs it in and lets the battery charge up while he’s using it. Rick’s answer: Brenda, there is absolutely nothing wrong with letting your son unpack his new laptop himself and start using it right away. Batteries today dont have a memory you need to calibrate routinely like the old Ni-Cad batteries used on devices several years ago. Then use the device with or without it being plugged in after that. I’d prefer to let HIM open the box after he wakes up on his birthday and begin using the laptop immediately, but only if it won’t damage the battery or the laptop. It is nothing to just put the charger on the device and let it charge up that battery giving it a fresh, new charge. In the past I have always just unboxed my new laptops and plugged them in and started using them immediately, and as far as I know there was never any problem.ĭo you think I really need to charge the battery before I give it to him? As I was paying for it the cashier told me I need to let the battery charge to 100% before I let my son start using it. Question from Brenda: I just bought my son a new laptop for his birthday.
