If you havent done an enicial charge, then do one and then about the charging issues just out it on charge a day before you go out and at night until 12 the next day, that is what i do and i works for me

batteries usually have a small charge on them when they are shipped, but are not fully charged. Like mentioned above, you need to perform the initial charge, also depending on the charger, you just need to watch it more closely for overcharging. For a day of bashing, I usually charge mine for about 4 hrs, or I stop charging it as soon as the battery starts to get warm.
