How Should I Store a Garmin Fitness Device With Rechargeable Batteries?

When storing your Garmin fitness device long-term, we recommend the following tips: 

• Before storing, partially charge the device (approximately 30 to 50%).

• Ensure the temperature for storage does not go outside the range of 0C – 25C (32F – 77F).

  • If temperatures exceed 55C (131F), some batteries will automatically discharge as a safety measure.

  • Vehicles can easily reach these temperatures and storing a device in them for any period of time is not recommended.

• Keep it in a cool, dry location.

• Make sure the device is turned off.
  

Following these guidelines can help extend the life of your Garmin device's rechargeable battery when placing it into long-term storage.
