Battery life at 0% straight out of the box. Is this normal?

[woodensen]

hi, i just bought a brand new Z3. I took it out of the box and tried to turn it on.

however, turns out i can't turn it oon because the battery were completely depleted.

AFAIK, a brand new phone should have around 10% batterly left out of the box. But this not true in my case.

Also, it is common knowledge that storing a battery at 0% WILL ruin the batttery. I assume that the device is shelf-stored for a long time at 0% before it is delivered to me.

So, is this normal? or my battery is ruined already?

Thanks in advance for the responses

Ah, it says that my battery health is good.

You could go ahead and charge it until fully charged. Then, for some days, you could see how things get along. If you have warranty, you should be able to send it back if any problems show up.

If it says good then no reported bad areas of the battery have been found so I wouldn't worry but do check it over a few days

Okay. I'll do some benchmark to see if the amount of battery drained is the same as in the review battery test

Thank you once again good sir. You both have been very helpful.
