Charge 5 battery is draining quickly

[Scraune]

Battery only last 1 day. Red light on back won’t shut off. Reset on the charge 5 , hit 3 buttons on charger.

shut off all the apps, screen on default, dim light , so if I have to shut off et why have the **ahem** thing. This is my second one. I like it but whatever you guys did on an update this thing sucks. I will never buy one anymore because of this issue every time with 3,4,5.

Hi there, @Scraune. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the troubleshooting steps you've tried. I'm sorry to hear that the battery of your Charge 5 is draining quickly. I understand your concern and how you must be feeling, I will do my best to help you with this!

Please bear in mind that as all rechargeable batteries age, they deteriorate to some extent and an older device will need to be charged more often than a new one. The best way of minimizing this effect is to avoid deep discharges of the battery. To maximize the overall life of your Fitbit device's battery, ideally keep it between 20-80%.  Many people find that a daily battery boost works best ( e.g. giving it a 15 minutes charge while you are showering in the morning).

To better assist you, please confirm that you've tried all tips and recommendations provided here.
