I charged my fitbit last night. It had a full charge. When I got to work this morning, it said the battery was completely dead. All that came up on my screen was the battery icon with one red bar.

Not sure if mine is the same but I've noticed the last two charges (this last week) don't seem to go to full charge. Animates up to about 1 bar from full (98%?) then runs the Blaze's battery down too within about 2 days, where it was lasting fine up to 5 days before. I'm on a beta release of the Android app software and am sure it did update about a week back too. Blaze firmware version 17.8.301.8. Android app version 2.41(3183087).

Hi @Danie10:  I have noticed the same graphic after extended periods of charging time.  But I have lasted about 5 days on a charge still.

 

You might want to check your sync settings.  I know when mine was continously syncing I saw battery usage on both devices to be shorter.

I had to attach my wrist band back on before charging last night. I am wondering if I may have turned on fitstar or something else that could have drained the battery that fast? Are there any options that would drain it down that quickly?

I also realised that I had been trying out a USB charge meter and maybe that was upsetting it somewhere. I went back to plain USB cable charge it it charged fine to 100%. So may be that my experience was not relevant here. I'll see how mine goes now for next few days.

Hi. I have the same issue of battery draining real fast since last week. Up to then, one full charge used to last several days. However, since last week and literally overnight, 1 full charge will only last a couple of hours. I have done all the suggested solutions (checked my settings, turn it off and then on to reset, etc.). Nothing is making the charge lasts. It feels like something is running that is using a looot of power and draining the batery out. Yet, I have NOT changed my settings since I have the Blaze some 10 months ago. Any help?
