A Initial charge is pretty much standard for any device with rechargable batteries.
Smart charge devices take a few charge cycles to "calibrate"
Failurre to follow the initial charge routine can result in a confused charg level indicator
12Hours is an "over charge" time. The trickle tops off the battery after the initial "full" indicator pop up.
It may take 3 or 4 of these long charges to settle down. Do not confuse your device, follow the directions.
