how to deal with brand new battery?
#2
What kind of battery do you have?
For an assembled stick pack, I would recommend an overnight trickle charge at C/10 for any pack, this will help to re-equalise the cells after storage.
For single cells, I would recommend either a trickle charge ot the use of an equalising board before the first charge. If you choose a fast charge, don't go crazy on the amps, give the cells a gentler first charge after they have been resting for a while.
