Do the batteries come charged or should it be charged when I get it?

It comes with a charger. I find it needs charging every 15-20 days so you might be going through a fair number of batteries. Don't know if regular batteries work.

I comes with a charger, but I didn't receive any batteries. As a side note, I just noticed I had to wrap the batteries (with yellow stickies) to keep the batteries from rattling.

It comes charged, but you need to follow the instructions that come with it to "prepare" your battery, which involves charging and then completely discharging at least threee times to give the battery it's longest charge life. The instructions on this are included.

Yes, I received two batteries. The first time I used them I let them use up the battery power completely. This is important because of the type of batteries used. The two work fine for me....while I'm using one the other is charging or already charged. Charging takes quite a while, but I then have adequate power for the work I'm doing.

I received two batteries but they do not stay charged as long as the ones that came with my machine. Also be aware that if they ship you batteries for another type of machine you will have to pay for the return postage to correct the shippers error. I received the credit but not for the return postage.

Put the battery in the charger. Usually get some type of indicator light that it connected and charging. It seems like the batteries take 5 hours to fully charge.

When you charge it, it will go by percentage rate of charge and when it hits 100 percent it will show it. It will look like a battery when fully charged with the percentage signs in there. You might have to play with the prongs to get it start charging. When you slide the battery in make sure one is on the plus and minus areas on the battery contact points.

No it isn't charged already, and I'm sorry but I doubt you'll ever be able to buy one that is charged at all. No batteries for devices like these come with a charged battery.

Yes mine had to be charged when I first got it. There are 4 lights by where you plug in the charger, when all 4 lights are green it is fully charged.

The one that I got had a rechargeable battery. I just plugged it in for a few hours before I used it.

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

Thanks for your inquiry. All batteries are only charged with 50%-70% capacity when we shipped it out in order to avoid any dangerous occurrence happen. Usually, please don't use it up when you first install it and please kindly try to charge it around 12 hours at the first time, and then discharge it. Please do this cycle for 3-5 times continuously. This will help to activate the battery.

Yes, the camera came with charged batteries. I bought a charger and extra batteries so I am never without charge for the camera. I love being prepared with all the extras I bought.

It should come with batteries, if it didn't you should complain to the seller.
