Surge died

[Torr19]

My surge died. I tried plugging it in and the Fitbit arrow displayed, but quickly died. I’ve switched chargers and now there’s 2 tiny lines appear horizontally. I’ve cleaned the surge and still nothing.

They dont last forever. How old is it?

You can try these steps but it sounds like it wont work

Please clean the contacts

Then Do a Restart

If it doesn't work then its time to let it RIP

How long was the battery dead and how long has it been charging. Are you using your phones walk wort..

I’ve just tried to charge my Surge after probably 4 years of not being used. When it’s plugged in it shows full battery and features are all working but as soon as not connected to power it shows nothing. Does this mean the battery is cactus?

Normally for a rechargeable battery, yes. 

Lithium batteries do not like having their level below 30% or above 80% for extended periods of time. 

The Surge was released in December of 2005
