I wouldn't fully discharge as its not good for it. Do a little more research, you'll find differing ways but the authorities on lithium ion batteries will tell you a full discharge is unhealthy

Thank you

As you mention, I've seen a variety of methods, some quite elaborate. The manual that comes with the Anker battery says 4-5 full charges/discharges.

Based on your knowledge, at what percentage would you recommend plugging back the charger?

15 to 20%

Thanks, I'll do that.
I made the mistake of not charging it for several hours before letting it discharge. I unplugged when it got to 100% and let it drain to 84% before I read that the first charge should be several hours. I've plugged it back on charge again and will leave it overnight before unplugging. Hope I haven't knackered the battery

I'd also like to buy a battery, but it seems that the eBay seller from the link posted by Chem23 does not ship to Romania.

D'you have any recommendations as to what should I order, that ships to continental Europe (and Romania)?

Just like to say I love this battery. I can easily get 12-13 hours of heavy, heavy use with it. The best I've gone with intermitted heavy use is 22 hours. That is definitely a far cry from the 8 hrs maybe I would get with the stock battery.

The same seller sells via Amazon as LaptopMateUK. It may be worth looking at Amazon and checking if he can ship to Romania. Good luck!

Just got one of these, looking good so far, been very disappointed with the stock batterys inability to cope with all my tinkering and screen on time, hoping this will be the answer or at least a competent spare to keep in my wallet....

Checked Amazon but shipping is pretty expensive to Romania, higher that the battery itself... I'll check a few local stores, maybe one'll have this battery for sale.

I didn't find any other stores online where they send to the Europe mainland, and since i don't have a creditcard, I'm not able to buy on amazon. Anyone has any ideas where to get it instead?
