Hi there, got myself an Ego today, the batteries seemed already charged but im not sure if this is a good thing or not.
Ok if I goto charge them the light is green and the light on the batt flashes, does the green light mean its charged? Im assuming this is the case but could be wrong and could shorten the battery life.
I recieved no instructions as i bought seperate parts so not sure what is involved with the charging process.
Can anyone please help, ive googled all I can but can find nothing on it.
Cheers

Wow, those replies were quick! thanks!
Im gonna assume here to that its appropriate that the batteries are fully used before recharging, rather than recharging say halfway through.

Yes. Ever leave your laptop plugged in for a week or two and it seems to be nearly dead as soon as you unplug it? It's bad for battery life to be constantly charging it.

you know what, I never even thought about that with a laptop battery, my laptop is constantly plugged in anyway, Ive never actually had to use it very far from a power source, Im a power Desktop User (archicad and 3d studio max, photoshop etc) and only use the laptop for sitting on the lounge or in bed. I will keep that in mind!
