Blaze Low Battery

[mrskdhill]

Just curious, how long will the blaze last w/a low battery alert?

I get through the 8 hour shift, but once near the start of a 16 hour shift, I got the low battery. Even with the HR off it died 12 hours later.

The battery would stay happier and healthier if charged 30 minutes every couple of days. Done let it get below 30% or over 90%, yes this is the ideal for all lithiums including your phone. But do I follow this? No.

@Rich_Laue thank you.  I just am gonna be pissed if I do not make it through this evening for my workout - which is 10 hours away - LOL..note to self - get a spare charger for the office.  Have a great day!

There are two things that can be changed from the settings screen on the Blaze. HR and Quick View can be turned off. These get turned of automatically as the battery gets lower, turning them off now will extend the time.

When your tracker gets really low, it will show a battery icon, as long as you see this icon its counting your steps.

HR is heart monitor ?

I don't think either HR or QV get turned off....I've had flashing red with 1 bar left and both were still active.

I've had the red bar and HR and QV stayed on, but when the battery got so low that the Blaze, Surge, and Charge HR only displayed the battery icon with an exclamation point, QV, HR, and tapping where disabled. Only a button press would turn on the display.
Turning QV and HR of now should delay that panic battery message.
