I just installed it in the unit when I received it, and it charged as normal. Did not do anything special.

All rechargeable devices should be charged before first use, no matter if it is your mp3 player, your phone, etc. One never knows the charge level of their device right after purchase.

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

Depends on how long you have had the battery and if you have damaged it or properly installed it when building your model. However I would recommend charging it for 30minutes if its low on charge and an 1 or more if you almost depleted it. However please charge the battery in a lipo lithium bag, because in some cases during charging if overcharged or any thing goes wrong within the battery cells the battery itself may overheat and catch fire. Please never charge it without supervision always monitor it and unplug it if not in use.

Yes you can charge the replacement either way. The issue I have had was the replacement battery only lasted 20 minutes. The company sent me another for no charge and the same thing, 20 minutes.

I have had one charged and waiting to be used for a couple months and it's still fully charged so I would charge them in case there is a problem with power conversion overseas.

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.

Recharge it before it goes dead. It has an led light indicator where you can check the battery charge.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessary to discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted about three days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibility would be an incorrect battery? Best regards, Sammy

No just use it until the lights go out then recharge, it's an ion battery, so it's best to drain it then charge to full.Love mine it have saved me a ton of headaches.

It is always recommended to keep rechargeable batteries on charge when not in use. Otherwise you may find shorter battery life.

I re-charge until the green light goes off. This is only when I know I'm going to need it soon. Obviously if it will be weeks or months before needing it, I don't re-charge.

No. you have a built in charger in your unit and it will top charge the battery in case it is a little bit discharged.

I just checked mine out as it would not charge. The negative post on the battery is corroded right off.

I wouldnt leave it charged all the time. Could effect the life of the rechargeable battery.

You cannot overcharge the battery so don't worry about it. Also no harm done if you undercharge. I have had mine for years, and to be honest do not charge it regularly, and have not had any problems. These are really just guidelines.
