Blaze battery is draining very quick

[CMoore1970]

I thought it was just my Blaze that was dying too fast. After reading the comments, I am not alone. I bought my Blaze I. November 2017. I had issues with it around June 2018. It was replaced. Now this one started not holding the charge at the beginning of the July. I had it on the charger all day yesterday. I wore it to bed and at 5:30 am it was in the red. I put it on the charger and it went from 1 red bar to teal. I may have to go to a different brand.

Hello there @CMoore1970 and @Connie1965!

As my friend @SunsetRunner suggested, please restart your Blaze and then, let your device to run out of battery to charge it again. Keep an eye on it to see how the battery goes. You can also see: Can I extend my Fitbit device's battery life? 

We recommend to charge your trackers via the USB port over a wall adapter. However, it is also possible to charge your Fitbit tracker with a UL certified wall adapter. What may actually cause damage to the tracker's battery (either on a computer or a wall adapter) is the charging time, which if excessive over time may damage the battery and therefore cause quick battery drain or prevent the tracker from charging at all. 

Tips to best charge Fitbit trackers are:

• Use only genuine Fitbit charging cables
• Use only UL-certified wall chargers
• Avoid USB battery packs
• Charge at room temperature

For charging purposes, your charging cable can be plugged into any USB power source, including but not limited to:

• A computer
• A Wall A/C to USB adapter, commonly found with smartphones
• A DC to USB adapter (vehicle power port)
