Foofightervapegirl Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 So when your batteries arrive do you generally have to charge them before use?I got mine this morning and put them on the charger,just in case,they needed charging...just wondering if I maybe got jipped?they were in super nice packaging,individually wrapped,and in plastic cases,I checked them,they are authentic.

Tam Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Whenever I get new batteries, I always put them on the charger to top them off before using. Why do you think you got "jipped"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think you got "jipped"? They required a full charge.but my soon to be brother in law told me he used to ship batteries,and he had to send them that way because they are lithium,risk of explosion.this was my first battery buying experience,the word clueless comes to mind,lol!the last ones I had were gifted to me.I got the exact same kind;) Edited October 8, 2016 by Foofightervapegirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXRich Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 All the batteries I receive I have to charge. I have never received a fully charged battery. smacksy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydre Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I've never gotten a fully charged battery or device. Some are mostly charged, and just need topped off. But say the portable charger for my phone/other micro USB devices had no charge whatsoever. They may tightening regulations on the conditions that lithium ion batteries can be shipped.

BirdDog Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Batteries usually have a minimal charge when shipped out. Probably left over from testing after manufacturing. Most batteries I have ordered, have come with a partial charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adversarious1 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 The only batteries I have ever received fully charged are the batteries I used to buy at one of the B&M's I go to. Until the FDA regs they would charge all of their batteries as a courtesy for customers. Batteries through the mail have never been fully charged.

The only time I've ever replaced batteries is when they start petering out. But if the wrapping starts getting loose, you'll want to replace them then, also.
