Rechargeable batteries normally have to be charged fully before first use.
Normally, no it should be fully charged if it is a fresh battery.
you should go to a car shop and get your battery checked and ask how long should u charge your battery.. or if you should get a new battery
i have a scooter as well the best way for any battery charge cell phone or scooter is half charge battery when new and drain it completely half charge it again drain it once more then fully charge it and your set with scooter 12 hours should give full charge for the first
My advice is to charge the battery with a battery charger before starting the engine. You will be putting a heavy load on the alternator if you allow it to charge a dead battery. This could damage the alternator.
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.
buy a new battery.
until its at full charge you should just check it with a battery tester no other way of knowing a lot of chargers have built in testers
A new battery doesn't mean a good battery. The new battery may be defective. Return it and get a new new one.
New batteries almost always come fully charged. If it was not then charge it with a battery charger and do not use your vehicle alternator to charge a dead battery. You may do harm to the alternator which is not built to charge a dead battery but is instead built to keep a good battery fully charged.
Your battery may be to old to even hold a charge. try charging it a little longer and if you have a volt meter ,you should read about 12.5v. if not ,then you need a new battery.
Your battery will lose charge faster.
If the battery is defective get a new battery. If you just left something on and ran it down, charge the battery and keep going.
