Help Have I corrupted the battery?

Ok, so I sent my HTC One X in for service and got it back the other week. Turned out they had replaced the battery in along with other things. On my way home from the store I turned on the phone for a short bit, then shut it down again. Then 2 min's later I read on a paper they sent back with me "we recommend you to fully charge the battery before using the phone".

When I came home I just put it on charging immediately, and didn't even touch the phone after it light turned green (took about 4 hours).

Question: Is 4 hrs (initial charge) too short?

Problem is that I have noticed the battery goes down very very fast now each time! I can start up the phone showing a battery status of 100% in the beginning. Then I go up on Twitter for about 10 min's, and later watch the battery status going down to like 87%

Is there any way I can calibrate the battery, or is it corrupted forever now?
 
Hello RippinKittin and welcome to Android Forums. You have not harmed your battery in any fashion. I'm sure your battery came with some potential and a four hour charge is likely reasonable for the initial charge.
