The batteries you receive from us will be almost fully charged, but you should still charge them 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, for example a UPS system, as this will do the job of charging for you, the charge time will depend on your charger, just leave it on until it indicates its finished, do not miss out this important first step, it will help set them up and possibly extend the possible overall life expectancy of them
It's not always apparent but it will take up to ten charges combined with use in your chosen device before a full capacity charge can be achieved, this is just a normal part of the conditioning process, after you have used your device you should get a charge back into the cells as soon as you are able, do not leave it sitting around in a partially discharged state for any longer than absolutely necessary, do not attempt to deliberately discharge the batteries, it will not rejuvenate them, it will only do them harm and will reduce the life span, they may be protracted periods where the batteries are not being used, if this is the case ensure they are fully charged first, then top up every four weeks but do not leave on a charger for more than 24-hours
