Fully charging a new digital camera battery before first use?

No harm done. It is actually better to have enjoyed your camera upon purchase and drain the battery completely before charging. If you have a decent charger, it would drain the battery first anyway before starting to charge it.

I doubt it did any harm at all. At worst, you might have decreased the battery life, but probably not so you'd notice. I wouldn't stress over it.

I'm sure you didn't harm it. The battery just didn't have enough juice yet, that's all. Be patient my friend and let it charge for the time specified in your manual.

How do i charge a Kodak Easy ShareM873 digital camera battery?

It looks like your camera uses a special lithium-ion battery, and maybe a special charger too. See accessories link on the Kodak pages listed below. You should be able to get the charger from Kodak if it wasn't supplied with your camera or if it got lost. Or better yet, shop around any electronics stores in your area for a generic substitute for the charger.
