Suggestion: Charge your new battery today (overnight) to bring it up to 100%. Dealers never charge their batteries before installing them. It is probably around 80%.

Yes, Very good News. I agree with the 'Tip' on a slow/low charge of the Battery overnight. My 2.

Although good advice I wouldn't say never. There are some good dealers out there, I have one.
