Hi my wife's Charge 5 battery drains from 100% down to less then 10% in less than a day and often dies before bed. I have tried Google support as I bought it from the Google store and was sent in this direction to get help so here I am. 

Please help

 

Thanks

Arun

Hi there @Somo3, thanks for taking the time to share your concerns with us. 

Please remember that this is only one of the official lines that Fitbit offered to its customers. You can try contacting through the other channels at any time. All our staff is going to be more than happy to assist. 

In light of this, I would like to recommend reading this help article, which includes some suggestions for extending the battery life of your device. You can also discover the most typical causes of a device that is draining quickly.

Hello @Somo3 

When my Charge 5 battery started rapidly losing power, I restarted and recharged my device multiple times over several days. Eventually, my device became "unstuck" and the battery went back to lasting 6-7 days.

One of the users shared a detailed post of what they did to address the battery power loss issue. Click on this link: Possible fix for Charge 5 rapid battery drain 

These are other troubleshooting steps to try that hopefully will resolve your wife's device battery issues.

Thanks for all the help. I went through the reset steps in a previous reply and it seems to be holding charge now.
