For all the new users getting new batteries are there are good rules for breaking in a battery?

I have heard to charge for 8 hours, use for 20 min. then charge an additional hour to condition the battery.

Fact or fiction?

I was told to just charge mine until light turns green (or about 3 hours for a fully drained batt). The batt experts will be along shortly though!

Have also heard this. Not sure if it works or not, but I did this procedure for all of my new batts, charged until green light, used for around 30 mins, then recharged.

Wow how did I miss this thread? Congratz everyone!!

I've never heard of the above "conditioning" nor have I ever worried about anything like it. Two of my 4 sets of batts are over a year old now and still going strong!

I have done both on two completely different sets(two sets of 14500's/two sets of 14650's) of batteries and have yet to see any differences in either set as far as holding a charge or length of time they last(lifespan).Both sets are at least a year old and are used daily and still average almost identical "run times".

Heck...I just put em in the charger...leave them there till the next day, swap em out...put the others in the charger....don't know any other way to do it...charge them, use them
