Help Is the battery supposed to come completly dead?

[redturn]

hi guys,

I just a got a new fierce from walmart.com. took it out of the box and tried to turn it on, it would not turn on. Plugged the charger into the phone and a light in upper corner turned on, nothing on the screen though. after about 10 mins a battery image appeared on the screen. it showed that it was empty.

I thought that phones and li-ion batteries in general, came with a partial charge. The one I got was completely drained. Not sure what this means for battery longevity.

anyone think I should exchange it??

thanks,

jason

It should come partially charged, but I've had at least one device that came with no charge whatsoever. I charged it up for 8 hours and I never had an issue with battery life.

I presume it must have been left on when it left the factory.

I wouldn't let it go flat too often (preferably never) though.

Mine came from T-Mobile completely dead as well, but after an overnight charge(10+ hours), never a single problem with it. Just let it run at least until around 20% or so a few times just to be safe.
