Default Noob New battery question

Hi chaps

I sent the Mrs to get a new battery for my bike today. The person who sold her it told her it needs a 12 hour charge on a bike charger or a hour on a car charger but looking on the box it says "Factory Activated Ready-To-Go" and "Fully Charged". Ive tested it on the multi meter and It has a constant 12.5v.

Am I safe to put it straight on?

Ryan

I'd put it straight in then go for a longish ride just to make sure.

Id also buy a good trickle charger to ensure you never need to buy another new battery.
