Is the battery fully or partially charged?

Per the instructions with the new battery you need to put new battery in cell phone and keep it on the charger for 24 hours. That's what I did and it works perfectly

Not fully charged when delivered but it should be charged before use anyway.

Yes, when I charge the battery the light shows a full charge, but the battery is still dead.

there's some charge in it,as with most batteries, but it is best to fully charge it before using to be sure.

Upon installation the red battery light went out immediately, so I assume that it arrived fully charged. However, if not fully charged the charging unit would be expected to bring it up to snuff quickly.

The battery arrived somewhat charged but you do need to charge it for a full battery.

It was charged. Not sure if FULLY charged, but charged enough for me to use it a good amount right out of the box.

the battery was more than likely fully charged, but i'm guessing not the day they shipped it to you- so the percent of charge it will arrive with depends on how long it's been since the last charge

I always recommend following charging instructions. The battery may appear fully charged, but almost always isn't.

No battery is fully charged, unless you buy it at a store, have them charge it overnight and pick it up the next day. This battery is a good one for the money in my opinion and should last a long time, but time will tell as I have only had it five months. And No it was not fully charged and I would say it was so discharged on arrival that waiting to recharge it much longer may have already shortened its life. Buy a CTek 3300 battery charger they are the best and has made some of my batteries I have last 10 years.

It will be full but when you initially charge it it needs to for the full time as instructed with the battery. Charge will last pretty much all day depending on usage

It's suppose to be plug charging when you are not using it so when you need it it's fully charge, but the battery don't hold charge anyway so it doesn't matter. I throw away mine, it's not worth it.

I didn't charge mine before use. Upon receiving my battery it had about 60% charge. To fully charge the battery takes approximately 2 hrs.

When I got mine, they were fully charged. If yours are not, they may be defective or may be very old and might have lost some of the charge.

Mine was fully charged and the light was still on. There was no problem with it at all.

mine was partially charged when it arrived, but I charged it before using it.
