My Fitbit battery died. When my Charge 5 came back on after charging for a while, the clock was wrong and all my data for today was lost. Anyone know why that happened? Also the data was lost on the Fitbit App on my phone too.

@LesRose, @Beth1965 Charge 5 stores your current data in volatile memory that has to have power to not loose it's contents. To avoid loss of data due to a dying battery in the future, you can set a "Low Battery" notification. Just go to https://www.fitbit.com/user/profile/notifications and enable "Low Battery" for your device.
Also note that it's not a good practice to always completely drain or fully charge the battery of any device if you want to get maximum battery lifespan.
