Battery shows it's charging but, it's not [ New ]

[swiftriver6256]

Bought 5/20 & this problem just started.  Is there a warranty I can use?  I LOVE the camera & use the crap out of it.  Bought a TON of accessories too.

Hi @swiftriver6256

What happens on the camera when plugged in?

Do you get the red light to indicate that it is charging?

While the camera is plugged in, turn the camera on then check the battery status.

Does it give you a percentage?

Have you tried using a different cable, outlet, or adapter?

You may also reach out to our Support Team through https://gopro.com/help/ContactUs  for further assistance.

Thanks!

Yes, red light is on & it's stuck on 19%.

No, since GP has to have unique cords, I don't have a back up one.

I just checked it & now, it's up to 88%.  I am wondering if the display wasn't lagging behind the actual charge.  I.E. it was charging but only showing 19%?

IDK, but, I feel there is some sort of problem that may show up down the line.

Thanks for checking @swiftriver6256

If you are able to get that 88% charge percentage, please try running the manual update.

Thanks for the help! Looks like the latest releases in January which would have been way before I bought my camera. I assume it's self-explanatory on the app?
