The blaze advertises a 5 day battery. When I orginially got it, it would last 2-3, which I thought was no big deal because I played with it alot. However, the last week or so my battery seems to be draining. Yesterday I let it fully charged and have made it a point to not play with it excessively since it was charged. It has been about 20 hours and I have < 1/4th battery remaining. Is there something going on in the background that is just draining my battery? I didnt pay this much to charge my watch daily and I can't find why the battery won't last.

Unfortunately I am having the same battery issue. Let me know if you figure out how to extend this battery life because having to charge it every day is getting annoying.

@clbandy, @Aprilmay1, @TheJoker486 and @Jennaay71 welcome to the Fitbit Community! The battery of your Blaze can last up to 5 days, this depends on your interaction with the tracker. Here you can find some tips to maximize the battery life of your Blaze. If you already tried all the tips and your battery is not lasting as expected I would recommend to contact customer support so they can review your traker's back-end information and provide you a personalized troubleshooting experience.
Let me know how it goes! 🙂
It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of silver and gold! Share your story!

I have had my Blaze since May 2016 and my battery life is draining faster and faster. I am now to the point that it is dead within 16 hours of charging. I do not use th text feature or the music feature. I did not even workout today and spent most of the day in bed because I am working a night shift. I took my Blaze off the charger at 10a CT and I checked my fitbit around 3am CT and it was completely dead. I am very disappointed. This is my 3rd fitbit product. I really like the app and everything fitbit tries to offer, but I am not so sure the product itself is sustainable for a long life for its customers.

Hi there @amthrock. Good to see you in the Community! 🙂
I'm sorry that your battery is not lasting much 😕
I would recommend fully chanrging it and then when the battery is full, sync it to your account right away. Use the tracker as you would normally do but remember to sync every now and then. That way when the battery runs out, you can get in touch with the Support Team and they will be able to get into the tracker logs and notice that the battery is indeed draining faster than it should and they will be happy to help you getting back on track.
Let me know if you need any more help with this!

I'm on my second warranty replacement because of this issue, I strongly feel this is a problem in the latest firmware.

Hi there @bunkzilla. Good to see you around!
I'm sorry you're having this problem with your Blaze. I don't really think this is a problem with the last firmware update or at least I've not noticed many people having this problem after that. I'd recommend getting in touch with the Support Team for them to help you out with this and try one more time. I'm pretty sure they will be happy to help!

Hi there @Superfastg! Good to see you in the Community! 🙂
I'm sorry this is happening to your Blaze on the third replacement 😕
The only thing I can recommend in this situation would be to get in touch with the Support Team for them to take a look and get you back on track with a new replacement once they can confirm that your tracker is not working as it should.
Let me know if you need more help with this!

@Superfastg of the Blaze holding charge issue has been a problem across 3 trakers, it's possible that all three had bad batteries,. Or it could be related to the charging habits.

What is the correct charging procedure. Normally I let it get to the notification point so it tells me I need to charge it after about 4-5days then I leave it on charge over night.

@FerdinandFitbit, I understand your frustration with everyone complaining, I have the same problem on this topic. Maybe you could get Fitbit to add this issue to the FAQ section. On a side note, it is impractical to ask most people to FULLY charge their watch (2 hours!) ain't no one got time fo that.

Also have the same battery issue draining after less than 12 hours from a full charge. Followed all the support advice on switching off features including "auto display" and "sync". Support team have been helpful but only solution seems to be a replacement Blaze, lucky mine is less than 5 months old!! Hoping the replacement lasts longer....but judging from all the posts here I am not optimistic!!
