Hi, my new (last Friday) Charger 5 drains battery in around 24 hours

Example charged 100% and put it back on at 10.30pm last night and awoke at 4.30am, so 6 hours while sleeping the battery reading was 59% ... so 40% of power used while sleeping over 6 hours!

 

I've shut down everything I can find.

 

What's my next option here

Bought new direct from Fitbit plus a couple of bands so $350+

If you have snore detection turned on, that is a big battery user.  Unless you don't mind frequent charging, it is probably best used for just a few days to get a baseline.  Then maybe try it again in a few weeks or if you have reason to think it is changing.  I expect it is most useful for people who have no idea whether or not they snore.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Eow!
Didn't know it had a snore detectir, where do I find that and how do I turn
it off!!!

It would pay to have a list of all apps and how much power they use & how
to turn them off

I'm fairly tech savvy & have been thru what I can find to disable

In a table of the Troubleshooting area of the website which by the wat
there is no Troubleshooting page identified in the manual???

Await your instructions
Regards
