Galaxy S4 First Time Charge

[AC Question]

Hello!

I just got my new galaxy s4 in the mail and in the box it says to charge the phone for 12 hours. Should I let it charge for that long or can I use it once it reaches 100%?

Welcome to Android Central! I don't think that's really necessary any more for modern batteries--I think they just put that there to cover their behinds. Modern batteries don't have "memory," so you could even start using it out of the box, then charge it up when you're down to 20 or 30%.
