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!

    It should never be needed, even when replacing the battery as that data is part of the BMS.

    Calibration was a thing like 25 years ago with the awful NiCD/NiMH batteries as I remember.
