does the battery come charged and ready to install

Yes, but you should start your vehicle and take a short drive just to top it off.

It may not be a full charge depending on how long it has been shelved but should have enough to turn over the engine.

Any battery has to be charged before they can sell them. And the installation was quite easy all I had to was clean up the harnesses and attached them to the terminals

Mine did. Took the old one out, put the new one in and the truck started right up.

Mine did. This spiral wrapped gel type resists discharge from sitting for long periods and more importantly for me, sitting for long periods in extreme cold as this is the starter battery for a diesel front end loader used to remove snow.

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.

You can't charge it before you install it. What you need to do is take out out battery, then when you insert new battery, merely leave the computer closed and leave it for 12 hours plugged in. That will charge the battery. Be sure you are not temped to open up the computer and try to do something on it while it is charging.

Yes. Yes the battery comes installed within the unit. It had an initial charge to it from the factory, but you still should fully charge it before first use. It will hold a charge better and longer if the directions are followed. Mine seems to have a bit longer than advertised battery life. I'm OK with that. :)

No, it comes with the rechargeable battery installed already. Just charge it over night before the first use. My wife used it til the battery was completely run down for the first few charge cycles. That helps the battery last a lot longer. After that you just keep it in the storage/charge stand and it will always have a full charge.

I am the same as the others, mine came charged. I installed it several weeks ago and it works. Maybe you should check with the company for a replacement. Good luck.

When I received mine, it was charged. It usually takes a couple of hours to charge it up.

It sure does. Mine came already charged, though this might not always be the case.

Mine came with a charge on the battery already. It lasted a long time. It takes about 8 hours for the device to discharge and fully re-charge once plugged in.
