Should be OK to charge and use but it takes a little longer, most electronics firms would recommend a longer charge first time round so just add a couple of hours on to what it says in the manual. I just plugged mine in to the mains and ran from there, then put the Batt in and charged overnight. No problems with life so far and I've been using it a lot since beginning of April.
