Expected life of battery

[KurtH]

Other discussions of battery life don't seem to address this.  I have had my Blaze about a year and a half.  Most of that time, it held a charge for 4-5 days.  Lately, it has reduced to about 2 days.  How long should the battery be expected to hold a charge (i.e., after how many months should I see the stored charge degrade to 1 or 2 days, then not at all)?

Also See this thread for charging best practices. If you are not charging it correctly you could be damaging the battery

Hi, @KurtH!  I too have had my Blaze about a year and a half and am running into the same problem.  Since I bought it, my Blaze would easily run 4-5 days without needing a charge and now I'm lucky to get 2, maybe 2.5 and it seems to be getting worse as the weeks go by.  I read the Fitbit recommended charging instructions and have always followed them to the letter so again, I would ask Fitbit what the expected battery life of their Blaze is?  I know this is still better than the Apple Watch but let's face it, us Blaze users got pretty spoiled not having to charge our devices every day or 2 so this is a giant pain now.  I'm not quite ready to make the price jump to buying a Ionic but also not sure I would buy a new Blaze since it kind of has outdated technology now.  Thoughts from other users?
