it charges your battery to full, then discharges it until it loses power. This allows your computer to have a more accurate reading of your battery life. It's good to do when you first get the notebook so you know you're getting accurate battery life info.

when it finishes charging, you have to take out the power cord, so it can discharge.

nope, it shouldn't take anywhere near that long to charge. maybe shut it down manually and boot into the operating system to find out at what percentage charged your battery is
