Does a newly replaced battery need to be charged first?

[SanBeckett]

A newly replaced battery does not need to be charged first. The battery, also known as a storage battery, usually refers to a lead-acid battery, which is a type of battery that uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The working principle of the battery is that during charging, external electrical energy is used to regenerate the internal active substances, storing electrical energy as chemical energy. When discharging is needed, the chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy for output. Methods to check if the battery has power include: 1. Check the battery's charge indicator; 2. Measure the battery's static voltage; 3. Check the battery fault light; 4. When starting the car, check if the dashboard flickers or dims; 5. Check if the battery shows signs of swelling, deformation, oxidation, or leakage.
