Default What's the deal with Philips/Norelco razor batteries?

wrote in
t:

My new Phillips razor (8150XL) has a lithium-ion battery. It fully
recharges in 1 hour, but the manual says to charge it 4 hours the
first time it's used.

Could someone please explain why the initial charge takes (at least
supposedly) 4 hours? Especially for a Li-ion battery, this doesn't
make any sense to me.

Thanks.



battery conditioning.
Also,many Li-ion batteries now use a processor IC to monitor charge state
and control the recharging,and it needs to develop baseline data.
