[QUOTE="condor22, post: 598393, member: 1932"] Pretty well all Lithium Ion batteries are shipped with about 25% charge in them. As Jaros stated, charge them fully, check Page 6 of your user manual, it explains the colour coding of the LED. I get a days detecting from mine, recharge in the evening and take off charge before bed. That way they are cool for the next day and the battery voltage will be at an "at rest voltage". The specs state that the battery pack is 7.4 VDC, which is usually 2 x 3.7 VDC batteries in series. I've seen the batteries I have, charge at over 4.0 VDC and hold that voltage for a while after charging is complete. It's best to let them settle and cool before using them. FYI - Every Li-oN mobile phone, tablet, torch or battery I've ever bought, always needs charging before use and is usually stated in the instructions. :) [/QUOTE]
