Matt, quit being a showoff.

By: Samantha

Samantha — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 16:30:40 +0000

I have a suggestion for you guys….

Never use technology!

Men, are absolutely useless, and you've just proven how by ignoring simple instructions you make the easiest tasks impossible! If I had been there, that would have turned out completely differently!

Bloody funny though!

Samantha!

Just a quick word on batteries, and *why* these things tell you to charge them before use.
Rechargeable batteries (no matter what technology) all suffer from something called “self-discharge”, which basically means that if you charge them, and leave them on the shelf, not connected to anything, they will still slowly discharge. The rate at which this happens varies a lot from battery to battery, but generally, manufacturers recommend a full charge every 12 months that a battery is in storage in order to keep it healthy. When people ship you hardware with rechargeable batteries included, you've no way of telling how long the battery has been sitting on a shelf and consequently how much of it's original charge it contains.
Basically, in order to keep the battery healthy, and to make sure you maintain it's full capacity for future use, you need to give it a full charge before use.

Personally, I like to give these things a full charge the first time, then run it completely flat, then give it another full charge – just to keep the battery happy. I guess you already learned the lesson not to skip the seemingly innocuous step of not fully charging the battery before use

Just be grateful it's not one of those devices that takes 18 hours to perform a full charge.
