Q: Do I really need to "prime" my batteries when I start using them? A: See my favourite source on battery issues, Battery University, on initial charging: Lithium-ion batteries deliver full power after the initial charge. Manufacturers of lithium-ion cells insist that no priming is required. However, priming is beneficial as an initial start and to verify battery performance. Excessive cycling should be avoided because of wear-down effect.
