Same chemistry as any other Li-ion or Li-poly battery. I wish more people with laptops and smartphones understood this, lol.

New battery - let it fully charge, then let it partially (say 1/3 to 2/3) discharge, then repeat this about a half dozen times.

Avoid ever letting the battery reach full discharge, avoid simultaneously charging/discharging when in the red. Meaning don't keep the laptop on when battery is critically low, don't even operate the laptop on AC power when battery is critically low. If/when the battery ever reaches this critically discharged state you should "recondition" it again. Irreversible anode corrosion and electrolyte saturation (which permanently reduces maximum charge capacity) are caused by age but greatly accelerated by sustained discharge, so avoiding full discharge will substantially prolong battery life. Simultaneously charging and discharging the battery isn't harmful in itself but makes it produce a lot of heat which also permanently reduces battery longevity, avoid this if you can or at least always use a laptop cooler when operating off battery and AC power together.

You can do whatever you want with your laptop (and its battery) of course, but treating the battery well will give you about 30-36 months of fully useful battery lifetime ... instead of 6-12 months fully useful lifetime followed by another year or two of weak-volted feeble-capacity partially-useless battery.

Batteries get a little better every year, expect maybe 10% greater energy density annually. Any replacement battery you buy a few years from now will likely hold more power than the one you have.
