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

I do not know yet because I dont use it that often. However, you should follow the manufacture's instruction as always charge the camera to full charge for the FIRST time when you open it out of the box. Do not use it right away when the battery is not in full charge for the first time; I think it is not good for your battery. And always REMEMBER to charge it when not in use and I am sure that your camera will always have plenty of power. Most often people have a habit of not charging their device after extensively and abusely usage and this habit actually KILL the battery very quick. Make it a shorter life.

it comes with a very small charge. You need to charge first before you can use it correctly.

Yes it can :) It comes with a cord that you can plug in to recharge it as often as you need to! You definitely should charge it before you use it for the first time as well.

No, it does need to be charged when you first get it and as it completes a few charges on your device.

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.

I never charged mine when I first got it and after at least a month of using it during my college classes, I just had to charge it for the first time.

The battery has to be charged prior to first use. This should be in big letters on the box.If you don't do this the bike may charge at a rate well in excess of 10 amps - the recommended max charge rate.

I would charge the battery first. I believe those are the instructions anyway. In fact, I believe there are specific charging procedures initially to get the best life out of the battery. If you continue to experience issues, I would contact the vendor/manufacturer.

Yes. I leave it plugged in since I use it at home. If the battery runs out, it will take some time before it charges enough to use again. I expected it to work as soon as I plugged it in but it didn't.
