My Fitbit Blaze battery only lasts 2 days

[Mattmoo78]

My Fitbit Blaze is less than a month old. I have followed all the instructions from setting it up to how long to charge it for. But lately after a full charge my battery is only lasting 2 days. I don't have it linked up to my iphone very much at all possibly for 5 minutes a day and I've turned off notifications, but the battery still isn't lasting. Any ideas please.

this recently happened to me too--I am on my replacement Blaze that was sent--i started using it a few months ago--yesterday it needed to be charged--which i did.  Today i noticed that i was getting the diamond icon when i went to look at the time--then it reverted back so i thought it was ok--so tonight, the same thing and now my battery shows in the red zone--which is about 30 hours for a full charge--i have not used the Blaze for anything the last 2 days except tracking my steps.  And now although it is 8:30pm at my house the Blaze says it is 3:22???  that is a new one.

@Fands  If your Blaze is shut down - whether from dead battery or simply turning off, it will show the incorrect time when turned back on.  (It will start the time from when it was powered off). You will need to do a sync in order for it to have the correct time show on it.

Hope that helps~

I've had my Blaze for 1 week, and it's required a charge every 2 days.  I don't have All Day Sync enabled (which I know is a battery drainer). I have no idea how they got a 4-5 battery life.

Great to see you around @Countrygirl66 and thanks for troubleshooting this by yourself.

If you are having inconveniences with your Blaze battery life, I recommend taking a look at this post and follow the instructions provided there.

I hope this helps, let me know how it goes.

after a week of arguing with Fitbit--(they NOW claim that a replacement device sent to you is not under any warranty--they try to tell you that the new one they sent is under your previous warranty--what a crock of BS), they sent me a replacement tracker, they assured me that the item was new, i got the tracker only, not a new charger or frame, rubber wrist band.  I rec'd it on evening of July 6--set it up am in of July 7, fully charged, normal settings, nothing draining.  i went through all the paces, even uninstalled/reinstalled the app, paired with phone, etc.  I looked at it yesterday thinking i did not charge it fully so i did again yesterday afternoon. this morning at 8AM, slightly less than 50%.  I double checked the charger to be sure i had it fully connected, charged it again.  Replied to the CS correspondence about what has happened.  CS gives you the most frustrating experience, just because they do not actually READ what you write to them, i spell it out, wasting a lot my time.  Finally when you think you have reached a resolution, they send you 2 different types of emails for replacements, you don't KNOW what you are getting until you ASK AGAIN.  and now they seem to have sent me a defective replacement (this is a one time offer, we know you are a good customer so we will send you this other defective device).  I am back at square one.  i was happy they finally agreed to replace, but replacing with a defective item is not what i expected.  I will post the answer from CS.  why so much aggravation?

so in order to get battery life, you have to turn off all the settings that you bought the Blaze for?  the notifications, the alarm, reminder to move,   i only have mine set to one alarm and text messages and all day sync.  When my Blaze was new/working properly I could get almost 4 days out of it--now less than 2 days.  this is not  truthful in what is advertised.

I am in the same boat! I am on my second replacement, which I barely got them to send even though the first replacement stopped working days after getting it. I have tried multiple blaze chargers and I am no wondering if this has something to do with the most recent app update or software update. Maybe it is purposeful. For a year I got a 5 day charge and loved it. That is why I moved from the charge hr to the blaze, even though I didn't really need the extra features and had just bought my charge hr. The 5 days is incredible and much more user friendly. Now that they are making it a day and a half to 2 days I am beyond frustrated. I have never used notifications and only have movement reminders on a few days. Mine has no reason to be dying so soon. Maybe a new fitbit is releasing soon and this is a ploy to get us to purchase it. IDK but for it to have just started happening to so many people and multiple replacements seems way to coincidental.
