Battery Charging??

Canon BP-511A battery (EOS 20D)

I've read the manual and it tells me that my battery should be charged for 100mins + an other hour once the light is perminently lit.

As it is a new battery which hasn't been charged before, should I treat it like a mobile phone battery and leave it on charge for atleast 16-18 hours for it's first charge or only what the manual says?

Silly question, but just want to double check as everyone says something different and, what a suprise, no service centre or help line is open!

Would anyone like to confirm as it's gone past the time the manual suggests and I'd like to use it tomorrow, leaving at 5am as I'm going to Longcross I think, may be Longmoor? I get confused between the two!

as far as I've ever known, Lithium Ion batteries don't need a long priming charge so get out there and enjoy it!
