Calibrating new 17" MacBook Pro battery?

Nothing in the manual about it (as there has been in the past)...so do I need to sleep my new computer for 5 hours to calibrate it? Is this new fangled battery the shizzle?

The instructions in the relevant kbase article still apply (they're applicable to all Li-based batteries).

i see this thread as solved, but i can say i havent had troubles with testing out a friends MBP unibody, by keeping it plugged in 100% of the time.

sometimes the charge will decrease and i will un plug it when it shows 99% or below and when its about the 93%-95% mark ill plug it back in to full charge and its only had 1 cycle thus far in about a month of usage, which should be expected/normal.

good luck with the 17"! =)
