1st charging time

[lou2s]

Just got my OP5 in hand, how long does it need to charge the phone for the very 1st time? As Dash charge can charge the phone to 100% in 30min, do I still need to keep the phone on charge for an extended period of time like b4? Cheers

Hi,

Dash charge can not charge the phone to 100% in 30min
In 30 min you can charge between 40% and 60% depending on what is running on your phone :

Thx. Havent tried it. So for the very first time, for previous phones I let it charge for a few hours b4 actually used them. I should do the same right? As the battery is with the same structure. Cheers

I set mine up then put it on charge, was on 44% and then was at 96 about 35 minutes later

Hey,

I don't know definitively but I don't think so. I think battery technology in this respect has moved a long way so you don't have to charge it to full before you first use it, nevermind charging it to full and then over charging for multiple hours.


In fact, phones these days cut off charging and then trickle charge when the battery is full to maintain charge but not try and charge an already full battery thus causing damage.

Bottom line is I would suggest you wait till it gets to 100% before using it but don't need to wait any longer after that.

With modern Lithium ION/POL batteries this is no longer a requirement. In fact the hardware will make it stop from overcharging or it could become a hazard. In fact, Li-ION batteries are best kept between 20% and 80% for longevity. if you plan to store Lithium batteries store them at around 50% charge. so your old phone keep it stored at around 50%. this is also how all laptops and phones are shipped these days. They are shipped with approximately 50% battery charge for any hazard and also for longevity should it have to be stored for a long period of time.
