I've never heard that that the battery won't charge fully the first time. What's to prevent that? But it's not necessary to charge it fully before using it, if you're in a hurry. A partial charge followed by a discharge and a full charge later on won't damage it. On Mar 10, 2011, at 11:19 PM, Jack Davis wrote:
