Is this battery fully charged when arrival? Thanks!

I believe so. At least enough to start the car right up. Fantastic battery for the price and way better than Optima now. Just be sure to get a trickle charger if you ever have to charge it. Agm batteries dont like jump starts either.

Wei, the battery arrived charged, but I would still recommend throwing it on a charger for a bit- mine was at 11.8V, which is certainly enough to start most cars, but may cause issues with newer, more electronically controlled cars. Also, it will reduce the load on a starter which likely has been already strained starting on the previous, dying or dead battery- Mark W.

No battery is fully charged, unless you buy it at a store, have them charge it overnight and pick it up the next day. This battery is a good one for the money in my opinion and should last a long time, but time will tell as I have only had it five months. And No it was not fully charged and I would say it was so discharged on arrival that waiting to recharge it much longer may have already shortened its life. Buy a CTek 3300 battery charger they are the best and has made some of my batteries I have last 10 years.

My new battery was already charged and I used it right away. Then when I loose a bar I charge it about 20 min. when the battery light stops flashing which indicates the battery is fully charged.

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

It was charged. Not sure if FULLY charged, but charged enough for me to use it a good amount right out of the box.

I have not had any issues like that, and I use mine every day. Is it fully charged?

When y battery arrived, it had about 1/4 charge. I charged it for 24 hours and it has worked great since. I'm happy to have a fully charged backup battery at all times.

No, mine seems to be just fine. I have had it about a month and already charged it many times.

It had small charge when received. Only had to charge it for a few hours (~ 3) to get full charge.

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.

It states it is.......so if you have any problems, return it for refund. Read carefully about cycling the battery for first use tho....it makes a world of difference on how long a charge will last.

Hi, you it charge first before you use it. if it is full of charge, check the user manual. my is working ok.

The instructions that come with it say to charge it first. I'm sure it may have some charge when it arrives, but probably not full.
