Quoted from a well known website ---
"Initialize a new battery.
New batteries should be fully charged before their first use to obtain maximum capacity. Nickel-based batteries should be charged for 16 hours initially and run through 2-4 full charge/full discharge cycles,
while lithium ion batteries should be charged for about 5-6 hours.
Ignore the phone telling you that the battery is full--this is normal but is not accurate if the battery is not initialized. #DO NOT fully discharge a lithium-ion battery! Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion batteries' life is shortened every time you fully discharge them. Instead, charge them when the battery meter shows one bar left. Lithium-ion batteries, like most rechargeable batteries have a set amount of chargers in them.:
So it is recommended that you full charge your phone's battery for atleast 5-6 hours even if the light on the phone is green. I've done this since Lithium Ion battery's began showing up in cell phones and other electronic devices...and I can tell you from experience I get very decent battery life. A lot of retail establishments don't notify you of this and tell you to use your phone right away...wrong. It's totally up to you what you want to do...but if you want your Evo to get a little bit more life out of the battery...I suggest doing this..
