New laptop- how long do I have to charge battery?

Got new Sony laptop. Can't find instructions regarding charging up battery. Do I have to charge it until it's full or leave for longer to 'build up' strength? Thanks for any advice.

    Never heard of leaving it longer to build up strength. As far as I know there's no benefits to charging it for longer than necessary first time.

    The computer will cut off the charging current when the battery reaches 100% so there's no point in leaving it any longer than that.
