Acer Predator Nitro 5 (2022) Laptop First Time Charge

I want to ask if this will affect my battery life of my laptop. I recently bought a new laptop from Predator store. I unpacked the box and everything nice. However, I used the laptop without fully charging it for the first time and downloaded some applications to test and benchmark my laptop. I also downloaded an app that has huge memory size and by that time my baterry was 50% then I fell asleep that time and when I woke up, my baterry went 0%. So, I charge it and then open the laptop to continue the download. My question is will this affect my battery life after making my battery to 0% and didn't charge the laptop to 100% before I use the laptop? If it affects the battery, is it okay I can replace the battery with a new one?

One more thing, the laptop drains for like 1 hour and 40 min after I didn't fully charge it for the first time. I'm using google chrome only at that time and I see every 3 min it drain 2-4% of my battery. Is this normal with my Acer Predator Nitro 5 laptop?

@kleinr draining the battery to 0% doesn't affect anything. The gaming laptops should be always plugged in whenever possible to reduce charge cycle and the wear of the battery. The battery should last about 2-3h with browsing and brightness is set to 50%.

Hi @kleinr

Yes it may affect the battery in the long run. But it is always recommended to maintain the battery level between 30% to 80%. You can also check the battery health from the blow link.
