Question Did I damage the battery in any way?

[mesmerized]

Hello there,

I got a new laptop at the end of June but for a few reasons (irrelevant, so won't bore you with the details) I didn't turn it on until a few days ago. So basically it was sitting in a box waiting to be turned on for quite a while. When I finally got to turn it on, the battery was drained, so I had to get it charged first. Now... I'm wondering, did leaving it for such a long time without turning it on and letting the battery go down to 0 could have an impact on the battery's capacity? As far as I know, if we won't to leave a device unused for a while, it's recommended to charge its battery to 50%.

Would be great to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks

definitely not.
many such devices sit in warehouses and/or on store shelves for many months, some even up to years at a time with no such degradation.

are you suffering any noticeable issue with the system or just paranoid for some reason?
