My charge 5 held a battery life of at least a week or more with everything running. Now it doesn’t even last a whole day. It was all of sudden too. I’ve had mine for a little over a year and I would expect it to last a little longer. This is my 3rd fit bit and there always seems to be a sudden problem and it’s done for. A little frustrated.

Hi there @Alohahiker808, welcome to the community. 

I understand your frustration with your Charge 5's battery life. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps:

  1. Restart your device: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve battery issues.
  2. Review your settings: Check if any recent changes to settings or features might be affecting battery life.
  3. Assess your usage: Heavy use of features like GPS, or always-on display can drain the battery faster.
