Charging your New Samsung A137 Cell Phone Battery Before First Use

New batteries for Samsung A137 are shipped in a discharged condition and must be charged before use. We generally recommend an overnight charge. Rechargeable A137 Cell Phone batteries should be cycled -fully charged and then fully discharged - two to four times initially to allow them to reach their full capacity.

Sometimes the device's charger will stop charging a new battery before it is fully charged. If this happens, remove the battery from the device and then reinsert it. The charge cycle should begin again. This may happen several times during the first battery charge. Don't worry; it's perfectly normal.
