New S2 Dead Battery

I just got my SGS2 replaced (RMA) and the brand new piece arrive with a completely dead battery. I had to charge to for like 15 mins before I could turn the phone on. I am concerned as my first S2 arrived with a semi charged battery which is usually how L-ion batteries are usually shipped with most electronic devices. Is there a way to check if the battery has been used previously? Any app that will help check the cycles to determine if it is a new piece?

UPDATE: I have plugging in the AC Charger and I see a large battery icon with a circle in the middle that blinks every few seconds. This has been happening for the last 15 mins. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like it is just charging to me, I would try powering on the device. If that doesn't work pull battery and put it back in.
