In order to prolong the life of your OLYMPUS VX806 replacement battery please read the following:

Your OLYMPUS VX806 battery is charged during production in order to test it. Your OLYMPUS VX806 rechargeable battery will discharge between the end of the production and the moment you receive it. That is why your OLYMPUS VX806 battery will have to be charged before you use it. You can use your existing charger or an external charger this will optimize charging of your OLYMPUS VX806 battery and prolong the life of your camera power supply.

Your OLYMPUS VX806 rechargeable battery discharges slowly and progressively when not in use. The self discharge rate is about 1% of the battery's capacity per day at room temperature. The higher the temperature, the faster your VX806 battery will discharge. If you intend to leave your OLYMPUS VX806 battery for a prolonged period without use then a service charge is recommended from time to time, taking in to account the self discharge rate and time between using your OLYMPUS VX806 battery.
