Precharged?

It's been a while since I received batteries from AW, but I believe he sends them partially charged, maybe around 3.9v or thereabouts.
You can use them, but ideally give them a top up first.
As for voltage as an indicator of charge, yes, a resting voltage of 4.2v down to 3.7v (or 3.6v, not sure) is a sliding scale of full down to empty.
This is a rough guide though, not an official power gauge.

4.2V = 100%
4.1V = about 90%
4.0V = about 80%
3.9V = about 60%
3.8V = about 40%
3.7V = about 20%
3.6V = empty
<3.5V = over-discharged

I believe AW li-ions come about 40-50% (~3.8V) based on the ones I have. This is a good level to allow them to be stored for longer before sale with less capacity loss.

When i get AW's or any lithium rechargeables in i like to charge them first......dont have to worry about over discharging them.
