The battery that ships with notebooks, do you have to wait until they have completely ran out of charge before recharging? Does it reduce the battery life if you don't wait?

No...these are Lithium Ion batteries and are not subject to the "memory effect" that other rechargable batteries are. You can charge it whenever, and it won't affect battery life.

Joey is right but also if you want to have an accurate reading of how long your battery will last then you need to fully drain it 3 or 4 times and then you can have an accurate reading. (credit goes to Rob2160 for that info)
