Is it pre charged. I bought a cell that I had to add acid to and it said it was 80% pre charged?

No it is not. You have to go to a parts store and buy the acid. I cost me around $9.00 at auto zone. They want to save hazmat fee's.

The acid creates the charge. With the battery are instructions on how to charge the battery after installing the acid and before use. Charging according to the instructions adds dramatically to battery life. Follow the supplied instructions. They're there for a reason.

Acid is shipped in box but not in battery. It must be put in battery, sealed then charged.

When we received the battery it did not need to be charged before using. But you should charge it after each use. Hope this helps!

Mine was over 50 percent charged out of the box. You should be able to charge your phone before recharging the unit.

Battery came partially charged.... you should probably charge it completely before using it....

Doesn't make sense....because you can buy acid from a different amazon site....so nothing to do with not being able to ship the acid....great battery though!

I didn't charge mine before use. Upon receiving my battery it had about 60% charge. To fully charge the battery takes approximately 2 hrs.

Yes. There is a simple acid pack that you add after receipt so you must allow time to do this prior to use.

I always charged before I used it. So I never tried. The quality is very good.

No, you have to get the acid and add it to the battery after receiveing it.

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

Yes, it needs to be charged, it ships from China so it takes a couple weeks to receive it. It needs to charge a few hours at least.

My charger has pre sets as well but I would charge at recommendation of battery maker.

MHM,Instead of paying ~$63 for an 8-cell charger, I suggest buying two 4-cell chargers, namely:- La Crosse Technology BC-700 Alpha Power Battery Charger, and- Sony Cycle Energy BCG34HRE4KN Quick with Refresh Charger and 4 Pre-Charged 2000 mAh AA BatteriesYour total cost is lower (~$53) and you get 4 LSD cells for 'free'. You also have greater flexibility with two chargers - use one mainly for home and one for travel, for example.

Depends on battery & whether new or old. Mine was used 4400mh 6cell. I get about 7&half; hours. you can get a 5200mh 6 cell for around $36. I am looking for a 7800 9cell but haven't found yet
