I'm just replacing my Powerbook G4 battery with a new one.

It's from the Titanium series and is a lithium-ion rechargeable.

What's the deal with the first charge these days? Do I need to do a really long first charge? If the 'book spends its days mostly attached to power, is this a problem for the battery?

Its pretty much always best to charge it all the way up, then run it all the way down, twice. After that use however.

Apple has put up a cool page for questions about their batteries:
