The OEM Yuasa I bought was precharged by the manufacturer. My dealer checked it with a digital battery tester to ensure it was good before selling it to me. I took it home and put it on a 2 amp Battery Tender charger and installed it in the bike the next day.
Our battery is not a flooded cell like in your video (unless you installed one), but is an AGM battery. Still, never hurts to make sure it is fully charged before the first use and is good practice.

I am confused, the start of the video shows instructions for a lead acid/ AGM battery. I remember the old lead/acid and adding water yearly or so, and I know (think) the AGM are maintenance free as far as adding water. The last 2 batteries I got on line had the separate acid container.
Oh, I am afraid I am exposing my ignorance of the newer batteries.
