Battery draining too fast when rollerblading

[Lizdtec]

Hi. I've been Rollerblading lately and want to keep track of the speed and the distance, so I turn on the GPS, but the battery drains way too fast and turns off the watch even if I was at 60% battery life when starting the excersice

Hi @Lizdtec, welcome to  the Fitbit Community! It's great to have you here!

Let me explain to you why may be the reason your Charge 6 drains the battery too quickly when you turn on the GPS.

Note that using features such as always-on display and GPS require more frequent charging. If you use built-in GPS continuously, Charge 6 has a battery life of up to 5 hours. 

For more details about the battery life of your Charge 6 and how yto extend its battery, i invite you check our help article Extend your Fitbit device's battery life

Thanks for the reply! How come if I have 60% battery life it drains out in
less than 30 minutes, it doesn't make sense. It drains way too much

Hi @Lizdtec, thank you for your response.

According to the estimation in my previous post, 60% battery will drain in less than three hours with the GPS on. So if you are experiencing a severe battery drain, i recommend to contact our tech support team for further investigation. They count with better resources to research in depth.
