My tips would be :
- When you get the device instantly start charging it and don't use it in the meanwhile (or if you can't wait, start using it but still charge it from the start).
- Let it charge 8 hours the first time (even thou green light starts blinking after 2-3 hours)

Tips for later use :
- This kind of battery does not need a full discharge to keep it's full capacity. You better just charge it every night no matter how much % left. Letting the device go to very low % has no good influence on the battery life and therefore shouldn't be done on purpose.

I've always discharged the battery first and then do the 8 hour charge.
