Initial Charge

Hi everybody, my laptop is supposed to come tomorrow, it is a B130 with a 14.1 inch Widescreen, and a 4 cell 29WHr battery. Am I supposed to charge it before ever turning it on and charge it for 8-12 hours? Charge it before turning it on until it's fully charged? Use the battery until it is empty and fully charge? Can I use it during the initial charge? Or do I not even have to charge it like that and I can just use it normally? Thanks for any help!

    the battery should be fully charged when you get it.

    try to avoid repeated deep discharges then recharging as it cuts the battery life down. if possible use mains poer as much as you can.

    Awsome, thanks, so I don't have to do anything special and I can just use it right away! I have read about Li-Ion Notebook batteries and that is all I was confused about.
