I finally invested in the Clarisonic device that Bella has been raving about and rushed home to try it, only to find the instructions suggest charging the device for 24 hours before its first use. It was the ultimate luxury gadget letdown — all I wanted to do was test it, and I had to wait patiently.
Most battery experts claim you can prolong battery life by charging them fully before their inaugural use. It makes sense, but it's not always feasible (or fun!) to wait. Do you fully charge your gadgets before your first use?

i rarely charge my gadgets before use. i always ask if they have a little juice in them when i add them to my collection. i usually charge them the first night though. but only after playing with them.
1Yes. I do.
2i do charge my gadgets before use tho.
3I do, even though at times it kills me! I still don't know what that thing is. Going to google now.
4No, I would be severely depressed if I wasn't able to open and play around with a gadget straight out of the box if even for just a few minutes. There should be like a law or something for that!
5I always do, even though it's difficult not to start using them right away!
6Only if there's no juice at all
7Yeah, I'm too anxious to wait! I'm not tech-savvy, so I never would have known that it could have any effects on its performance, either.
8I only charge when there's no juice in it. Most of the time, there's juice so I don't charge them until I'm done playing with them.
9Yep - I always charge them first
10I LOVE my Clairsonic. And I was as upset as you are when I had to wait a whole 24 hours to play with it! I do charge if the instructions tell me I *must*. Sigh...
11I had to, every shop that sold rechangeable electronic always said something like that... change for at least 1 day first before using it.. I still don't know why.. is it really matters if we don't charge that long?
12I'm a good little soldier: I totoally charge my new device before I use it!
13i usually charge for like an hour before i can't handle the excitement and then i just use it. at least i let it get a little! then i charge it all the way~
14LOL jessie, that's what I thought too
I usually use up the
little bit of juice it comes with first then charge it over night - I can't help myself.
15to be honest, i'm not overly patient with things, so i don't always charge them if i don't have to. i feel like i waited so long to get something, and then if i have to wait even longer to use it and play around - then it's a buzz kill. i really do feel your pain there!
16Yeah I do. Though the wait always kills my excitement. But how true is it really?
17I always charge them first, yup indeedy.
18I always do. I'd rather have a longer life span than play around with it for 20 minutes.
19i always do too
20I rarely do. I am too excited to try them out.
21It totally looks like a vibrator from this angle...gee, Geeksugar...need to know basis please!
22Jessie......I thought the same exact thing when I saw the picture...which would make this question about charging your new "gadgets" really funny.
