Hi All

Just had battery delivered from fleebay, impressed as i ordered yesterday with free del.

My question is do I just pop it in and go, or should I charge it for a while like a mobile?

Thanks

    Depends on the battery chemistry.

    If it is Lithium Ion, you can use it without charging. However, as it has probably been sitting in storage for a while, I would suggest that you charge it for a few hours (5 to 6), before using it.
