Can I use the battery immediately after unpacking the shipping box?

All goods we supply is new direct from the manufacturer.
The batteries are charged conservation.
To be able to use it must first be charged with a low current.
The first charge should not exceed 0.5 C - that for your cells LFP040Ah is 20A.
