who has encountered this problem:

ig ot the new dvx, so i ge tthe 5 hour battery.

The first time i charged it, ever, it took about 5 hours, and then i used it till it died. I then charged it again, and used it till it died. (i usually do this process twice with new electornics) now when i charge it, last night it took about 3 hours and the green light went off. I took the battery out and then back in again, and the green lgiht was on. so i left it on over night, and when i woe up the green light was off. i took the battery, unplugged it, and plugged it back in, and the green light goes for for about 20 min, and then off, is this normal?
 
You absolutely do not need to charge/recharge a new Li-Ion battery. It does not do it any good, and wears it out (you put in 2 cycles against its finite cycle life). When you put a fully charged battery on the charger, it does not exactly know that the battery was previously charged, and tries to charge again untill it figures out that it is full.
