Battery Dead on Arrival?

[danielt]

Is it possible that your watch was left in freezing temperatures for too long?

How long is "too long"?  I just discovered that our postman left mine in a weird spot, sometime today, in ~0-degree F weather.   It had no battery when I tried to turn it on.  It does power on in the docking station and does seem to be taking a charge (it's at 2% now), but I don't know whether it will hold the charge.

My sealed units arrived with completely empty batteries (although it's not that cold where I live). I left them on the docking station for an hour so two before using them. That left them with more than enough power to run the reloader successfully.
