Upon receipt of your mew battery order you will note that they have a good charge, but you will still need to charge them before using for the first time, your charger will indicate to you when it has completed a charge, the light will generally change to indicate this, this first step is important so do not ignore it, do not use without this initial charge, doing so can shorten expected life span
If you are a normal user then you will probably not even notice it but it can take up to ten charges and associated use in your device before its capable of accepting a full capacity charge, this is all part of the conditioning process and quite normal, allowing your new batteries to sit without charge is not a good idea, as soon as you have finished using it put it back on charge, do not attempt to deliberately discharge the batteries, it will only do them harm and will reduce the life span, if for any unforeseen reason they is an extended period where you are not using the batteries make sure they are fully charged first, then recharge every four weeks but do not leave on the charger for more than 24-hours
