Usually around 6-8 hrs, you can still use it though while it is charging. It will stop charging itself when complete. You can check status is power options. Or right click on battery icon.
2 :
the first charge is the most important charge you can do. Always fully charge and discharge a laptop battery, avoid short term charges as this will start the degradation of the battery. Adjust your power settings when on battery for maximum battery life, which means sacrificing performance, you can't avoid this? running 7 or Vista you should get about 2 hours out of your standard battery , maybe a tad more if heavy duty.

Plug it in and start using it and leave it plugged in

What brand for a fan and psu is best for my SONY VAIO desktop?
What brand for a fan and psu is best for my SONY VAIO desktop?
Today I took my SONY VAIO desktop to Fry's for the 3rd time for service/repairs, because my desktop freezes and when I reformatted it it basically just made my screen go black. One of my friends WAS a computer technician and recommended me a ANTEC or OCZ power supply unit (PSU) and he doesn't know about the fan. What do you guys suggest/recommend? I have a SONY VAIO VGC-RB42G. :) thanks.

If in fact the power supply is the cause, it's an ATX style PSU. Original equipment on that model would call for a replacement somewhere in the 400-500 watt range. If you have or plan to add a high end PCI Express card, go for 600 watts just to be safe. I have switched to stocking only 1 PSU for ATX machines in my store, made by Broadway Com Corp. Model number P4-OKIA-550-RB. Its a 550w PSU with dual 12v rails, above %70 efficiency, short enough to fit just about every case I've put it in, and the price is right (retail about $35-$45 online). I've sold a bunch of them without failures. If someone needs anything more we special order it. I put this PSU in a dual core AMD computer with 2 nvidia 7600 cards in sli and 2 SATA hard drives and its been running for 2 months now without a problem. Good deal for the money. Someone else said CoolerMaster, and you mentioned Antec and OCZ. All of these are good PSU's, just more expensive. But like everything else, you get what you pay for. There is however the possibility it's not the PSU...I've many times seen an overheating CPU or a bad motherboard cause the same problem. Make sure if you get a PSU you can return it in case it's not the problem, or better yet, "borrow" a PSU from another computer for a while and try to reinstall Windows again. If it still black screens, make sure the CPU cooler isn't jam packed with dust, coming loose, or the fan isn't spinning. If after swaping the psu and checking the cpu, try pulling each card and piece of memory one by one until it stays running. If that don't work, its probably the motherboard, and good luck with that. VAIO's use a custom motherboard and are near impossible to replace with an aftermarket board (most times). And Sony will want $300-400 for a new (refurbished) one. Hope this helps.
