Blaze's battery won't last

[Mrmanager]

Hi there

I haven't had my blaze very long and it was bought as a gift in February 2018. My battery now only seems to last 8 hours. I noticed that I charged it before bed and found when I put it on again in the morning the battery was empty.

Are there any fixes?

Welcome to the Community Forums @Mrmanager! I'm sorry for the late response. Thanks for reporting to us about the battery drain on your Blaze. 

I'd recommend restarting your Blaze. 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)

Let me know the outcome, I'll be around.
