Pre-installation charge of lithium battery?

[julieinwy]

Can someone advise us? We bought a Battleborn heated battery (100AH) to install in our 5.0 when we pick it up in Sumas in September. The trailer will be "lithium ready." Do we need to charge the battery ahead of time? If so, what do you recommend?

I don't know if they are still doing it, but my Battleborn batteries arrived charged to about 85%. I connected them to my solar controller & converter with no problems.

Thank you! Ours seems to have a charge, too. Maybe enough to get us started, and the truck will charge them up as we travel. We do have another 3 months to wait, as it stands right now.

Ditto with my Battleborn 100ah. Not an issue.
