After placing you and receipt of your order you will note that the batteries will be almost fully charged when received, but you should still maintain a full charge before first use, the only time you do not need to do this is if it's going into something with its own always connected power supply and charging circuit, for example a alarm system, as this will do the job of charging for you, you only need to complete the charge until the charger indicates that its ready, it probably will not take long but it is very important so not a step you should overlook, do not just install and use without this initial charge, unless the situation is as stated above, doing so can shorten expected life span, it's well worth doing
Unless you are a very extended user you will probably not even notice that it can take a number of charge and use in your equipment before a full capacity charge is achieved, this is all part of the conditioning process and quite normal, if it is being used in a portable device ensure that you charge your new batteries after each and every use, they are capable of many charges but this will reduce if you let run them down in-between, never go out of your way to try to deliberately discharge the batteries all the way down, doing so with this type of battery will only reduce the life span and cost you money in the long run, if it turns out there are periods where the equipment is not being used on a regular basis then ensure the batteries are fully charged before any period of downtime and then topped up every four weeks but do not leave on the charger for more than 24-hours
These 6-volt batteries are manufactured as AGM (absorbed glass mat) and VRLA (valve regulated lead acid) to the end user it means they are very versatile, they are sealed lead acid, the acid being suspended within a glass mat so will not leak and not-hazardous so can be used indoors or in portable devices, they also need no maintenance whatsoever, except of course charging
