is it fully charged before shipment

Not fully charged when delivered but it should be charged before use anyway.

Upon installation the red battery light went out immediately, so I assume that it arrived fully charged. However, if not fully charged the charging unit would be expected to bring it up to snuff quickly.

I may have some residual charge from its manufacture, but it is by no means "fully charged" when received. To fully charge it, you must connect it to whatever device or charger to which it is a component.

It has some charge but needs to be topped off since it has not had current since manufacture.

Mine read just at 12V when received so I didn't charge any more before installing in alarm system. It is working fine.

I use them in emergency lighting and computer power backup devices. They are charged to where they will work to silence the dead battery alarm. You just don't know how long these batteries have been sitting in a warehouse, so there is no sure way to know if they are fully charged.

Yes,but it is always best to charge any new battery for 16-24 hours before use.

There was a slight charge when ours arrived, however we plugged them in to insure a full charge.

Hi. I started charging mine as soon as I unboxed it. It had some charge to it but not 100%. So far mine is ok but I hope both of us didn't get a refurbished product. Maybe someone else will reply too.

Batteries are pre-charged at the factory, but because all batteries lose some charge during storage, you should always fully charge batteries before relying on them. Most batteries come with instructions for charging before use.

I don't think it comes charged but I'm not certain. It takes a few hours to charge fully buy you can get a partial charge quickly.

Mine was not fully charged. Popped it in the charger for about 15 minutes and no worries.

Yes, it is. But you have to charge 8 hours before the first use. I charge over night, it last around 4 hours , it is very good for me.

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.

Mine came partially charged, but I expected that. I just charged it gain to to top it off.

Mine had a little juice when I opened the package, I just charged it 100% before I used it.

No, but it in ready the instructions about the battery - simply charging them over night provides a full charge with no worries of overcharging - it is very handy little deal

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.

When new it comes already charged. When charging you don't need to turn it on.

don't count on any new battery to be fully charged! mine had a charge but I'm sure it was not 100% charged. Once installed your system should start charging it.

No. I charged it once when I first got it and used it in May. It has held its charge since and I used it 3 times in a week in November and it is still fully charged.

Yes indeed, this battery comes fully charged. I also purchased a shorai charger, because from what I gathered, charging without it is questionable. Since I live where the weather prevents winter riding, the charger was a must for me, but maybe not for you.

Not quite... But there is some charge. I recommend a normal charge time before fully using it.
