Initial Charge

[jatyro91]

I searched this before posting, I didn't see another post about it, but if there is one I apologize in advance.

I was reading HTC's website and it suggests charging your Incredible with it off for 8 hours when you first receive it. Can anyone confirm or deny if this is accurate, or just way overcautious?

If it makes you feel better, go ahead and do it. But it really isn't needed.

Charge it now or later. Charge it at any point (dead, 1/2 or almost full). Charge it only partially It makes no difference! These are not old nicad batteries. The posts you are reading are simply wrong. These are Lithium-ion polymer batteries. Lithium-ion is a low maintenance battery. There is absolutely no memory and no scheduled cycling required to prolong the battery's life. It's an ideal battery. Just Google Lithium-ion.
