How long to charge a new out of the box Samsung S7 Edge? (bought already charged at 50%)

A

AC Question

Do I follow this instruction from the previous forum post? Is it recommended to condition the battery? Please help and thank you in advance : -)

Charge the battery full (100% plus 30 minutes). Use the phone until the phone tells you to charge the battery. (If you can't right then, swap in the spare.) Charge it to 100% again. Do 3 full cycles of full charge, wait for the warning to charge. After than you can drop it to 40% before charging. (Charging it when it doesn't need to be charged is just wasting time and power.)

You should always charge a new device the first time. The cycling is only for the old tech batteries, lithium ones don't have the "memory" thing of the old Nicad ones, but just the same it's good to discharge fully now and then. If the battery is removable, store fully charged. That's it. Have fun
