Can’t seem to find information about this but why should I discharge the laptop to 25% before I do this?

I bought a new wifi card that I will put in.

You should discharge the laptop to minimize the danger of fire and exploding battery if accidentally damages or short circuit occur during handling the accumulator. Fully charged accumulators will react more violently when short-circuited or damaged.
