Tracker's battery isn't lasting

[Lynnwolfe]

My blaze battery is needing to be charged every other day.  Not acceptable!  I thought it was supposed to last 5 days.

Hi, @Lynnwolfe! What type of features are you using? I got and charged mine on Friday and it's still on the same charge. The only feature I haven't been using is the alarm function. I also don't use call notification, only text, and I don't get a lot of those. However, I wouldn't think that would account for a multi-day difference of that much.

I got mine on Friday as well. Fully charged it. Had to charge it again Sunday night. Received a "battery is low" notice before lunch today. I have received a few texts, used the stopwatch once, did an elliptical workout all since the Sunday night charge.

I too am on same charge since Friday - use all features except quick view.

I charged mime fully overnight on Friday and got low battery tonight. 5 days I'm surprised and that the best I've found with any of my fibits. I do however shutdown at night and sleep track with my charge HR. I only use Hr on blaze when exercising so that prob helped too

I have to charge mines every other day too. I don't have notifications on or all day sync.

Hello everyone! @shisheen welcome to the Fitbit Community.  The battery life of the tracker depends on your interaction with it I would like to share this tips to maximize the battery life of your tracker, if after trying this your battery is not lasting as expected, my advise is to contact our support team for assitance.

There a fit bit watch that runs on a battery like a regular wristwatch. One that you do not have to charge thank you

I charge mine every 5-7 days. Depends on where I need to give it life support. The only thing I use it for:

Countdown timer if I am playing Grand Theft Auto Online or Dark Souls III or any game that I only want to spend a certain amount of time on.

All day sync is enabled on my phone. Which means periodically my Blaze will sync with my phone.

Nothing else is enabled on it such as call notifications, all that jazz. All that is off. 

Takes me 90 minutes to charge it from it being "almost dead". Used to be 120 but I did that through my Xbox One as at the time there was no other place to plug the charger in.
