Q: Battery problem

I just installed a new battery in my macbook and it won't power up.  I plugged in the power cord  in case it needs charging but it says 0% at the icon.  Shouldn't it be ready to go right from the box.  The staff at the Apple Store didn't mention having to charge it.

MacBook, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
