I tried this and it worked fine on my first run and on my next run it turned off 5 times within 7 minutes

I spoke to Garmin via the chat on their website, I shared this forum thread, and they have said…

Mine has done the same Twice this week while showing 40% battery. Mine is about 2.75 years old so I am guessing this is the lifetime of the battery?

I have the same issue - it turned itself off on Sunday and again today during a run. I’ve had it for about 2 years I think. Am based in the UK

Same problem here. Every now and then during a run the F45 suddenly turns off so I need to power up it again. This occurs also by pressing the Lap button. Battery indicator shows 20 or 40%. Firmware v. 5.40

Check your software version from your 'About' screen and let me know what it's on. It should be on 5.40.

I'm on v5.40. I did plug in to Garmin Express yesterday after the issue happened for the second time - but I think it was on v5.40 before and didn't update
