Garmin Outdoor watches use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that is not user-replaceable. However, the below information will guide you through common troubleshooting to verify if a new battery would be needed.

Common Solutions for Batteries

Often power issues are not related to a battery failure. If the watch is not charging or is quickly losing power:

Try cleaning the charging contacts on the back of the watch and on the charging cable with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. This will remove any possible residue.
If a battery power issue is still present, it is possible the issue is software related, in which a software update is suggested. The software can be updated using Garmin Express.
It is recommended to charge the battery for an hour, even if the display does not show the device charging, before determining that the "battery" is no longer functioning as intended.

Additional solutions can be found in our Support Center by searching for battery when you have your Garmin watch selected.
