APC Back-UPS Pro 1500

Hi, I just bought and had delivered an APC BX1500M battery backup for my computer. I have plugged it into the wall and installed the PowerChute software, but I have not plugged anything into it yet (other than the data cable to pair it with the software). 

 

Does it need to charge or something for a period of time? I read through the manuals, and everything points to no, but I still remember when everything that had a rechargeable battery has to sit connected to power for at least 24 hours before being used. Is this still the case?

 

Thanks

That's not an online UPS.  The circuit through the battery is only used in the event of a power failure.  It will continue to charge regardless.  You can go ahead and plug all of your stuff in.
