i receive a new battery do you have to wait until it is charge

I alwasy 100% fully charge a battery (overnight) one time before using it. This helps mitigate the "memory effect" where batteries can not be charged to their full capacity. Simply connect the battery to the system and allow it to charge. Just don't let the battery ALONE power the system until it is fully charged.

Actually, I don't know if it was pre-charged since I just connected it and left it. My electricity will have to go out before I know if it was charged. Thank you for asking cause I need to check it out! Sorry I cannot answer your question.

My battery was a backup for my alarm system. Once I installed it it started to charge. Hope this helped

No you don't have to wait I received mine and connected it and my system started to work. Haven't had any problems

If the battery is seated properly it should provide at least 3 hours of charge upon arrival. This is a replacement part so it may need some manipulation to seat it otherwise the problem may be in the other portion of charging assembly as suggested above.

I don't know if the battery was charged when received, I bought it as a gift. Seems hard to believe it would be fully charged when it is shipped, unless the shipper charges it somehow prior to shipping to you.

It needs to be charged a full 24 hours when you first get it. If you charge it less than that the first time, the charges won't last as long. A battery can have a memory. If you charge it a short time, you will only be able to use it for short times. Be patient and charge it for 24 hours first, after that keep it in the stand and it will stay charged. In my kit there's a bright yellow taped instruction on the box that held the charging base where it says to charge it a full 24 hours before using the first time or the warranty is void.

mine was partially charged when it arrived, but I charged it before using it.

I go ahead and charge it. I think you have to charge it now and then even if you don't use it.

Whether the battery is new there is no way to tell. The battery looked new and there wasn't any noticeable marks of previous use. However, the first battery I purchased only lasted 5 months and quit accepting a charge. I bought another battery from the same company through Amazon, and so I'll see if it lasts longer. So far it is working okay and is accepting a charge. The battery was packaged like it was new.

Mine came with a charge on it, but, I charged it over night just to be safe.

No just place the battery IN THE RIGHT WAY on that is it. It usually comes with at least 50% charge, so you can use it right-away.

The battery was dead when i got it. It recommends u charge it before using it. I never had any problems with it. Once i charged it initially it was fine.

It comes ready to use, however, may need to be charged overnight. As you can see by the picture of the battery in the description, it is a sealed unit.

I'm pretty sure that you get it when you pay for the battery. So if the battery becomes caput before the first year's use is up, you can just send it back for a [hopefully] better replacement. Don't quote me on that, though. Would probably be best if you ask the seller. ;)

Your system should be charging it automatically. If you just now installed the battery, wait 24 hours and it should be fine. You may need to reset low battery warning. See your manual for instructions. If it has been installed since February and now is showing low battery , verify the main power source is turned on.

You SHOULD charge it just to make sure its actually working. It could mean nothing that you received it that way.

A brand new battery can take up to 3 hours to fully charge. After the battery has been charged and depleted to under 5% about ten times, the charge that is held takes about 2 - 2.5 hours to fully charge.

The battery fully charges. If your current battery is the same number it should fit.

No, and the one I got wasn't brand new. It may have never been used before but it definitely spent a few years on the shelf before I got it. It would only last 5-10 minutes per charge and I returned it. I now use a car battery, there's videos out there to show you how to convert it.
