Watch won't hold a charge

[T-Man]

After eleven months of no watch's use, and just finding a fossil ( ;) ), I decided to plug my Fossil back in and use it.

I plug it in, and it goes through the bootup and setup screens, and I set it up. Five minutes later I unplug it expecting it to have a low charge, so I could see how far it had gotten – it turned off. I leave it and watch TV for an hour, come back, unplug to see its charge – and it turns off, and 're-resets' for the third time after I plug it back in. I assume those 11 months got to the battery.

I guess I'll look up its battery model, and replace it. Unless – for the reason I post – is there some way at all that I can revive the battery ? I'll let it stay plugged overnight ; I don't know if maybe a dead battery needs an extra long charge or something. . .

Your battery is dead for sure. (had the same with one of my watches).
Just look a bit aside:

As soon as I get the new batteries from my supplier, there will be more info.

Figures. :rolleyes:

I don't know what the original battery is though, could any one tell ? I've yet to open it up.
I saw the thread, though didn't read it all. It's probably something I should look in to – getting a larger battery...

180 mAh (maybe 190, not sure..)
i can't wait to get the new prototypes, wich perhaps will get us about 600mAh altogether.
