So my battery died I’ve left it on charge for an hour and now won’t even turn on no green lights on the back no life at all? I’ve left it on charge for a little longer to see if helps!?

Not gonna lie kind of glad Im not alone in this. Mine died mid run, I planned on charging when I got back but Its been plugged in for hours and nothing. I checked the cable with my wifes Ionic and Hers charges.

Same here.  A year old and just one day would not turn on.   Tried everything and it will not turn on.   Customer service is non existent with a 7 day email reply waiting time.  Almost laughable

Only thing I would suggest is try different chargers on your Ionic. Generally a "fast charge" charger may "kickstart" the Ionic charging process with higher 5V current. Interesting though - I used a QC3.0 fast charge capable charger (Blitzwolf) and it said the charger wasn't enough to charge the device (can't remember the exact screen message). A lower current charger didn't bring up the message.

 

So try several different chargers. Hopefully one may bring your battery back to life. On an aging battery, it may have dropped below a minimum voltage level - so needs a "kick" to bring it back.

 

Although, many owners are reporting that their device was reasonably charged and simply died. FW update I guess?

 

Between 2200-0330 my battery dropped from 14% to 4%. Given the discharge rate the previous day I expected I could wait until later in the morning to charge it. Not sure why it fairly quickly dropped to 4% without much usage overnight - as I was asleep. I put it on the charge at 0330. I simply don't trust letting it occasionally drop to 0%. It may stay there.

Same here... So frustrating. Haven't even had mine a year yet.
