Using a new laptop with a confirmed healthy battery, do you typically need to do battery calibration after a fresh distro install? Or is that only used when replacing a battery on an existing system?

By battery calibration I mean the multiple cycles of letting battery drain to 0% and then recharging back up to 100%.

Thanks in advance!

    You shouldn’t cycle your battery as that wears it out and is very hard on it. Modern batteries don’t need it.
