For safety reasons, Ledger Nano X stops charging when it detects an error with the battery.

Make sure that your Ledger device has the latest firmware installed and do not unplug the device while following the steps below:

  1. Press both buttons on your Ledger Nano X to dismiss the error message.
  2. Let the device charge for 10 to 20 minutes without any manipulation. A screen saver will appear in the meantime.
  3. Once the charging period is over, press the left button once to exit the screen saver mode, then hold both buttons down for 3 seconds to access the control center.
  4. Select "Power Off" by pressing the right button once. Turn off the device by pressing both buttons simultaneously. The device will restart after a few seconds.
  5. Repeat step 4 (up to 5 times) if the error message persists. 

The device may need several on/off cycles to work in the case of a completely discharged battery.

If the procedure worked, the battery warning message should no longer appear, and the logo in the upper right corner will change from a plug icon to a charging battery icon. You should now see the welcome screen. Leave the device connected and charging for about 8 hours to ensure the battery is fully charged.
