Battery suggestions

Well, you might recall my post about 7 weeks ago. I have a Dell Inspiron
2200. I had bought a replacement battery from Pacific Battery in February.
Recently, it was showing signs of deterioration (when I first got it, it
lasted 2.5-3 hours on a full charge -- when I posted here it was lasting
about an hour and clearly fading fast).
Anyway, Pacific has a 1-year warranty, full replacement. You have to fill
out a form online and a week later they send you a RA number. You have to
then send them the battery. They receive the battery in a week, take a week
to analyze it, and then hopefully send you a new battery (it takes another
week).
Anyway, I've gone through the process and a shipment from Pacific is due
later today. I'm assuming it's the replacement battery.
Anyway, I gave that background just to fill you in on what transpired. It
looks like Pacific is a solid company to deal with but I'd rather a
better/quicker replacement policy. Still,. it's a pretty good policy that
they totally replace the battery.
Now for my question: what's the best way to deal with the new battery?
Obviously, I place it in my laptop. Should I charge it extra long? Should I
run it until it is completely discharged a few times? In other words, is
there anything special I should do?
