Why Charge 24 Hours

You should absolutely charge it 24 hours if that's what the manufacturer recommends the first time, many reviews on Amazon complain of poor battery life on these cheap unlocked phones, they most likely did not wait the 24 hours the first time, after that discharging fully and recharging fully is the best practice no matter the battery, they claim lithium ion batteries are not effected by partial discharge or charge but they are wrong for a variety of reasons.
