Did the battery store use your 'wall wart' AC charger and cable or one of the store's? Your AC charger might be bad, or the connector/charge cable could be bad. Take the phone back to the battery store and have them check your AC charger and cable.

1. the first thing I would suspect is a dead battery
2. If it does not showing charging when connected to the charging cradle:
A. it could be either a bad charging cable, wall adapter, cradle, bad battery, or the internal charging connectors.. Do a process of elimination only with OEM Samsung cables and charging adapters.
Note: the Samsung Smartwatch charging cradle is not normally sold in stores, so if you lost it contact Samsung support to get another one [1+(844) 454-5925], or download the Samsung+ app from the Google Play App Store to access Samsung Support contact information
B. If the Smartwatch has been on the shelf for a long time (either in store or not used after a long time) the battery will deplete itself so low that it needs to be trickle charged for 10 hrs or less depending on how dead the battery is.. Rather than being put on it's regular charge adapter for a few. Try inserting the charging cable into a computer USB port instead of into the wall charger adapter (see attached video)
3. If the Smartwatch is on, but won't turn off:
A. it may be a software issue.. Like an app you installed is clashing with another, or maybe an update got corrupted by a bad bandwidth connection.. If this is the case reset the watch and start over.
B. It's possible you have too many things going on and all the RAM memory (the brain) not storage space, has been used up.. Which is a temporary crash, just like when you over load your brain with too much stuff at one time..
The charger has a function that restores the battery operation parameters by discharging then charging the battery a number of times. Refer to charging instructions in the pack but I think the cycle is a 3 hourly one, time to charge from a full discharge. If the charger thinks the battery is dead then it will try to recover the battery using this process. You may have left the charger on long enough to charge then also discharge the battery.
Start again and charge for the time in the instructions ONLY, if you are not sure of the time try it for an hour, then without disconnecting the charger turn the unit on and take particular note of any screen messages, if any.
You should be able to continue as normal now, but still be aware of the time you are leaving the charger connected for, as it may take some time before it returns to normal operation and stops trying to recover what it thinks is a dead battery.
The batteries may be too old to take a charge. They are gell cell types and can be had at any battery shop. You can get them on line too, but shipping will be high.
Wez Thats a normal indication of a full charge. The battery level indicator will go down as you use the scooter. Always charge the scooter overnite if you use it a good bit during the day. With new batteries it will take 8-10 charging to break them in and operating at 100%. Always store fully charged and if not used alot charge once a week after you have charged the batteries 8-10 times
