using their X30 highs when they are in the craddle during the initial cahrge? Obviously, if it come today (fingers crossed), I will put the battery in the extra slot but I must admit I am eager.

Thank you

So this is fine, since I just got it, I can use it to my hearts content in the cradle?!?!??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ok so I turned it on and it gave me a message that the backup battery needs charging. Is their a way to charge the back up while I'm using it? I know alot of people have used this method for the initial charge so I assume so

Lith/Ion batteries are never really 0% out of the box. They are stored around 20 to 40 usually. Sometimes you can even have one at 80, but they last a longer time around 20-40. So that is where they store the cells in the warehouse.

They want you to fully charge your battery when you first get it because it is downlow and have been sitting in storage until now. So the short answer to your question is yes, you should be fine. :D

So even though it gives ma this message it is acctual fact charging? Sorry for all the questions I'm just a little paranoid.

Not yet...........but should we be worried?

ryanjarman · 08-05-04, 02:38 PM

NO, I was just wondering if this was a safe way to charge it, I know I know I'm impatient, and now I want to know if my backup battery is charging while I use it.

You're doin' it exactly the right way.

And, yes, once you cick the power button while in the cradle, your BUB is charging.

Just wait the full 8 hours....NOT just until the light turns green before using the main batt.

Does that mean I can sync and install while in the cradle as well. Oh, and thanks alot for your help.
