New battery treatment.

I am a little confused on how much do I have to charge my newly bought battery (Nokia's original BlB-2 750mAh)

I have been told from the place I bought it that it has to be charged and discharged about 1-2 times and also the charges duration should last more than 12 hours.

Although I new about the chargings (about three charging/discharging cycles as it is mentioned on the manual) I don't think the charges should last so much!

A search over the internet just confirmed what I already knew

but I would also like to listen to your opinions!

Battery charging

For the first 3 or 4 charges the charger should be left connected and on for at least 16hrs [Nokia say you shouldn't leave it on more than a week (7 days)]. This sets up the battery so that it can take full charge in the future when you stick it in charge and it has finished in about 1hour.

Between 12 and 16 hours, this ensures that the optimum power is delivered to the battery.

Yip 12 -16 hrs for the first few times and make sure that it is discharged completely each time. That is phone switches itself off.

Well it took more than a month to get the answers. It's too late now guys. And the 16 hours charging is not mentioned on my manual, and not on any phone manual i had. I have charged and discharged it for about three times 12-14hours just when i bought it,but it's duration is the same with the old one which i had just charged it and discharged it for 2-3 hours and only the first charge. The next few charges had lasted until i got the battery full message, but then i charged it again when the battery was fully discharged.
