My Blaze battery dies extremely quickly

[TrumanS]

I found that my Fitbit Blaze battery would die extremely quickly. I would have to recharge it after every night. However, I realized the issue was due to the fact that I had not synced for a while, possibly months. I think that having to store all the data somehow uses a lot of battery life. Anyway, after syncing, my Fitbit is back to a normal 5 day battery life. If you are having battery issues, it's worth a try to sync up and see if it is resolved.

Hey @TrumanS, welcome aboard! Well, if you are using your Fitbit, I would recommend you to sync periodically so it won't reset itself to a different date/time. Now in regards of he battery, if you don't sync as often as recommended, the battery shouldn't be draining so fast. But sounds great that the battery is lasting as it should and you have no inconveniences with it anymore. 

In addition, to make the battery of your Blaze lasts longer, take a look at the tips in this help article. 

Thanks for the update! And if you have further questions, let me know!

By the way, I just moved your post to the correct board so you can get better assistance!

I have owned a Fitbit blaze two years. I have not been able to have it keep any charge off the charger even if the battery reads full on charger. Moment o take it off the charger screen blacks out. Is there a service place that fixes them or I can mail to someone? Hopefully it’s a easy fix. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I do not wish to have to buy another fitness watch.

Hi there @Htitus, welcome to the Community Forums. I'm sorry for the late response. Thanks for the details provided about your Blaze's battery behavior. 

As per the description, it seems that it has insufficient power source. Where do you charge your tracker? Have you checked if by any chance the USB port or outlet is faulty? If you haven't done so, try a different port. A UL-certified wall charger will also work. Don't use a USB hub. You can find more detailed information in the help article: Why isn't my Fitbit device's battery charging? 

Also, I'd like you to review the tips and recommendations provided in the article: Can I extend my Fitbit device's battery life?
 
As a friendly reminder, the following are some factors that have an impact on battery life and may cause your battery to drain more quickly:

• Frequently checking the Fitbit app, which syncs your tracker
• Frequently receiving notifications
• Frequently checking your stats
• Using Quick View. 

If you still believe your battery is not lasting as long as expected, we’d like you to do a battery test to see how long your battery lasts after a full charge. Please do the following:

1. Disable the features that can impact battery life as described here.
2. Fully charge your tracker.
3. Sync your tracker 5-6 times a day. 
4. Wear your tracker until it is fully depleted.

Let me know how it goes, I'll be around and glad to further assist you.

My Blaze doesn’t stay charged for more than 2 days, and I don’t have any extra things turned on on it.  Any ideas? It’s only a year or so old and has had this issue for quite a while😕
