Ours wasn't completely flat but it is documented and certainly well
recommended to charge before use though, if you're desperate enough and
careful, you can probably use it on charge once it's had a good start.

Can I ask. I hope to get a Braillenote MPower with my DSA grant for
university. I would like to know, in terms of battery, how much charge the
battery would have had when shipped from my local Humanware dealer? This
is so that I can determine whether I can play with it right out of the
box, or will it come completely flat such that I have to do this
noninterruptive charging? Thanks.

Malaina,
Your friend is able to recalibrate the battery as Rhonda suggested, or
you are able to have your friend discharge the battery by naturally using
it. You can have your friend just use the unit beyond the battery is low
message, beyond the battery is critical message, and all the way until
the unit shuts off, then plug in the ac adapter. This is something that
is recommended to do at least once a month. It is like excersising the
battery to make sure that it stays at its peak performance. It is also
recommended that once you run the unit completely flat to switch off the
unit before plugging in the ac adapter, then let it charge for a solid
three hours without interuptions.
I hope this information is able to help you.
