Battery not charging to 100%?

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi everyone,

Normally when my battery is charged 100%, I can walk several miles to the beach, do six hours of swimming and still have time left.

Recently the watch has been dying at 4 hours, even after 6 hours on charge it never said "100%". I'm swimming 15k on Thursday and hoped to use the watch. Am I the only person experiencing this?

Many thanks

Which watch model, and how old is it?

Hi Trux,

It's a Garmin Swim 2. One evening I left it on charge for 6 hours and the 100% sign did not come up. I'm not sure why that is. It's been a while since I've seen it say100%.

As I'm with a boat tomorrow I might swim without it- might be a distraction.

I got the watch brand new in February

You might get better responses if you posted this to the Forum for the Swim 2 rather than the Android Connect App: forums.garmin.com/.../garmin-swim-2

Could be also due to corroded contacts or a bad cable. I'd try cleaning the connectors, and getting a new cable if it does not help.

... also preferably charge from a USB port of a computer, than using a wall socket charger.
