Sadly, my battery did not last more than one washing. I strongly recommend charging any battery before first use -- good policy no matter what. But this one fell apart while I was getting ready for the second washing with the new battery, and then the infamous "fatal tank fracture" that are well known with Scooba occurred, so right now our Scooba is sitting at the bottom of some pit in some industrial recycling place -- where it belongs.

It may only be partially charged, so you'll probably be happier if you charge it fully before using it.

Personally, I did, however I don't think you have to unless it doesn't have any charge.

Yes, make sure to follow the instructions on charging the battery or it will need to be replaced. �

Yes, charge it before using it for the first time. Yes, charging it overnight should be enough.

I charged mine for about 4 hours before I used it. The battery loses juice as it sits. So only charge it before you use it.

It has some charge on it but its best to fully cgarge it before a full use. But if you're like me and couldn't wait it'll have enough charge to see what ut can do

I can't find it in the manual but I would charge it for a couple of hours first thingout of the box. That's what I did.

My battery had a minimal charge when I RECEIVED it.I believe we are expected to fully charge it before using.

The instructions recommend fully charging before use. The battery does come with some charge in it typically.

I really don't know. From what I understand with any battery you should fully charge the battery before each use and you should fully let it die (don't keep it plugged in while you are using the computer at the same time). Not that many people actually fallow these suggested steps but they help to is that to elongate battery life.

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.

You have to be careful not to have over charged the battery. If you did overcharged the battery by 30+ minutes the battery becomes useless or you'll notice a diffrence in power. If you know forsure that its not the battery then get yourself a circuit tester and start following your battery circuit flow, you may be able to narrow it down and hopefully find a quick fix.

It ok to do either one , the battery it self has a limited number of charges. I keep mines charged haven't had any problems with it.

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

there's some charge in it,as with most batteries, but it is best to fully charge it before using to be sure.

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.

I have repeatly but don't leave it un attended. You should get a deeper charge with just with the battery along in the charger if you have the option.

I usually charge it overnight, then turn it the opposite way in the charger until I need to use it. These batteries hold a charge a very long time. Depending on how long I use it on a given day determines if I charge it that day or not. If I use it for just a couple of screws or drill o few holes, then I wont bother charging it that day. If I use it a lot in one day then I will usually charge it overnight and then the next day turn it backwards in the charger. I know it says they won't overcharge but you don't need to put an extra charge cycle on the battery if it's not necessary. I hope this helps.
