Charging a New Battery
To ensure maximum battery performance, it is recommended that
a new battery (or battery that has not been used for several
months) be charged for at least 14 hours before use.
A
A new battery will require several full charge/discharge cycles
in order to achieve its optimum performance.
A
A new battery, or a battery that has not been used for several
months, may cause a premature fully charged indication on
the charger. Ignore this indication and let the battery charge
for several more hours, remove then re-insert the battery into
the charger, and charge for up to 14 hours.
After this initial charge, you can recharge your battery normally,
using the phone’s rapid travel charger.
