Fitbit Charge 5 not holding a charge

[Peachy2019]

Does anyone have this problem? My fitbit 5 would hold a charge for a week, now it will be at 100% in the morning and by the evening I am down to 5%. I have tried to restart it and it is still acting the same.

Hello @Peachy2019 

When my Charge 5 started having rapid battery loss, I restarted and recharged my device multiple times over several days. As soon as I saw a rapid drop in battery, I restarted my Charge 5 and put it on the charger until it was back to 100%, often doing this multiple times in a day. Eventually, this process got my device "unstuck" and the battery went back to lasting 6-7 days. Although there's no guarantee that this will work for you, it might be worth a try.
