are these batteries pre-charged?

Yes. They come pre-charged. The manufacturer claims that these are better than other rechargeables at keeping their charge on the shelf, but they also suggest that customers who wanted top performance from the batteries might want to charge them fully before first use.

Mine came with 1 bar and required 7 hours to charge. It took 2 charges for the phone to maintain full bar charges throughout the day. The batteries stopped the beeps and disconnects that I had when using the speaker phone. I thought I would have to buy a new phone set but these batteries saved the phone.

No, ALL New Rechargeable batteries need to be charged PRIOR to use. Using the battery BEFORE charging it will reduce it's life.

Honestly, I didn't even check for the date.However, an overnight charging after they were installed in the phone did it's job.Batteries were fully charged.As of yet, no issues.

All I remember now is that the batteries were supposed to be precharged. Mine were dead when I got them. I loaded them and used them in my hand wash dispenser. The light on the dispenser showed still red instead of changing to green. Will not more buy rechargeable batteries.

No, but I have been using them for over 6 months and they have at least the same power and capacity as the original Nikon batteries. Neither battery, however, lasts very long before needing a recharge. That's why I quickly found that I needed several batteries with me at all times when I'm doing any serious photo and/or video shoots.

yes, the battery I received had some charge. It did not take very long to charge it fully.

I had to charge mine. I put them in my charger and it noted them at the bottom of the "charge bar" on the display and it took several hours to get them to full charge. Based on my experience I would say they are not "pre-charged" at all.

Sorry, I don't know. They came fully charged, so you might assume you and recharge them and store.

I am presently out of town and unable to look at the ones I have. I have never had a problem. They are always well charged and quite btrght when darkness falls. I will be home the end of the first week in Feb and would be happy to check and see if the batteries are replaceable. Off hand I think they may not be, I recall they are well sealed.

They do not come precharged. After connection, you place the headphones on the headset to be charged.

I think the answer is yes but they've probably been sitting in a warehouse and have lost some charge. They always need to charge when I initially install them (right after receiving them)

Yes, these batteries come fully charged. I am completely pleased with these batteries. I use them in my digital camera with built in flash. Before, using regular alkaline batteries, I needed to replace them every week or two. A real bother having to carry extra batteries and always thinking about swapping batteries. I've had these Eneloop Pro batteries for several months, still using the same set without recharging. They are expensive but far superior than other batteries. Also, the charger will not overcharge.

Yes, but they are 'demonstration' batteries, and won't last. (Even though mine seemed to...) I'm sure those batteries are available through Amazon.

I didn't test if mine were precharged. After removing sticker from top and charging they work great. Super happy with them. Cannot beat the price.

I charged mine for 24 hours before using them. They work great! I have noticed that when they are not plugged in they only stay charged a couple of hours.

They may have some charge to them, but you will want to have them fully charged prior to first use. It helps the battery stay charged longer and you don't have to worry about battery failure when you are ready to take that perfect shot.

Yes. Put them in a dumb charger for a few minutes and they will begin to take a charge. You can then put them back into your smart charger and they will charge.This works for most but not all batteries that fail.
