What should I do? Use and discharge or charge until full?

  • Use it until discharged, and then fully charge it!

  • Don't open it, first charge it until green led, then use it!

  • Just use it, plugged or unplugged, it doesn't matter!

Despite the fact that my brain knows it makes absolutely zero difference, I pretty much always give any device with rechargeable batteries a full 24 hour charge period before I disconnect the charger. I'll still use it, but it won't come off charge for 24 hours.

I think it's ingrained in my head from the day of Ni-Cad batteries. I know it's irrelevant, I know I don't need to but I just can't stop doing it, damnit! :D
 
My opinion would be to just open the box and use it, charge as required. No reason to overthink this.
