The phones came with a charge, so technically their very 1st charge would have been from the manufacturer. Not sure what exactly you're trying to find here.

Lithium Ion batteries are not that susceptible to memory effect, nor do they need the initial primer charge like in the days of Ni-Cd. The first time you charge them is just the same as any other time, though fully depleting and recharging can sometimes give the device a better gauge of the battery life.

So I don't think you're going to find a correlation between the "initial" charge and the battery life.
