Fitbit Alta Turns Off with Battery Remaining

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Hello, it happens about once a week where I wake up in the morning, plug in my Alta to wake it up and turn it on, make sure it has at least half of it's battery life, and I will get to work and it won't turn on. Tapping the screen does nothing, I can't do anything through the app to wake it up, and the watch becomes useless. When I get home, I will plug it in and it's battery life is still where it was when I left, so the battery is never dead when this issue occurs. The Alta is only 2 months old.

Also See this thread for charging best practices. If you are not charging it correctly you could be damaging the battery
