Alrighty folks, I just received my Skytrak and was looking to get straight into it but it says it needs to be charged for 6 hours before use. Is this really necessary, can I have it plugged in charging while playing? I know batteries used to need charging and properly maintained in the olden days but i thought the newer batteries were more advanced and this was non issue nowadays. Thanks in advance anyone can enlighten me, cheers.

I didn't wait when I got mine in December and it has been working fine. I opened it and fired it up right away. Congratulations on getting your ST! -
Cheers, normally I would be the same but the sun is shining for a change (scotland) so left it to do its thing, going to have my dinner then go out and try some garage golfOriginally posted by cmckelvmi View PostComment

You can play with it plugged inComment

Cheers mate, yeah I seen you can play with it plugged in but it said to charge for a minimum 6 hours before using so wasnt sure if that meant letting it charge to 100% before using even if plugged in. I had stuff to do anyway so wasn't so bad, the real pain was getting all the software and license's to register.Originally posted by Zappster View PostComment

I have had bad experiences with premature battery death, so I am paranoid about it. I'd follow the instructions to the letter.
I would love to use the skypro integration option, but the skypro is dead to the world. I originally followed the recommended charging procedures, but once I stopped using it regularly, I let the battery run totally dead. Now I have a 12 gram paper weight. Not good for much.Comment

Yeah im not normally one for holding back and charging before use but given the cost of the Skytrak I thought 6 hours wasnt too long to wait just to be safe, I had things to do anyway so wasnt bad.Originally posted by Morini View Post
