Should you charge a new car battery before installing?

It depends on how long the battery has sat around from where it was purchased. Its never a bad idea to fully charge a battery before its first use. Most new batteries only have roughly an 80% charge. An alternator is not designed to full charge a battery but maintain a healthy one. By charging a new battery you ensure that your getting the most out of it by not allowing sulfation from charging and discharging to the batteries original 80 percent.
