The battery was dead when i got it. It recommends u charge it before using it. I never had any problems with it. Once i charged it initially it was fine.

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

Mine was fully charged. I took a 2.5 hour bike ride one Sunday. Never charged it afterwards. And then the following Sunday did the same. It never died on me!

I didn't have to charge the one I got. After initial testing to ensure it worked, I did put the Battery Tender on it and it has remained fully charged.

The battery arrived somewhat charged but you do need to charge it for a full battery.

I don't know if the battery was charged when received, I bought it as a gift. Seems hard to believe it would be fully charged when it is shipped, unless the shipper charges it somehow prior to shipping to you.

Did you fully charge it when it arrived? I's call customer service and if they give you the run around I'd return it.

If I remember right it came with somewhat of charge, then I recharged it fully. My connector is messed up too, I have to sit it on its side to charge.

I got mine and charged it fully for the first night and then used it till it died and repeat charging. No problems long lasting for the last month and half and still going strong!!

HI James, don't think it comes fully charged, It has some charge to start using it out of the box.

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.

It arrived partially charged. Recommend fully charging it prior to use or testing.

Yes the light comes on when You are charging. I have also found that when it is close to fully charged it likes to beep alot letting you know.

I would charge it for a full 15 hours before using it. They usually come partially charged, so doing a full charge is the best way to be sure.

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

That means it's on and ready to use. You might to turn it off to have it fully charged first for the first time usage.
