This came on very quickly from one day to the next. It's not yet 2 years old. I charge it fully, then the battery drains super fast within a couple of hours. I see this is a common issue. Does anybody know if I can get a free replacement from Google/Fitbit? If so, who do I reach out to?

Welcome to the Fitbit community forums, @ReyPicante!

Thanks for reaching out and letting us know about the issue you're experiencing. I understand how frustrating this might be, let me help you out!

You're correct that this can be a common issue, and there are a few things we can check. Let's start with a few easy steps:

  • Restart your device: This can often solve minor software glitches.

  • Check for software updates: Make sure your device and the Fitbit app are up to date.

  • Adjust your settings: High brightness, always-on display, and constant GPS use can significantly impact battery life.

If these steps don't help, you may be eligible for a replacement under our warranty policy. Since you're asking about a free replacement, the best way to get a definitive answer is to contact our support team directly. They have the tools to look up your specific device and determine the best course of action.

This is not an answer to his problem.

I face similar issues with a 2 year Charge6 where after august de to some update the battery now shows sudden changes in percentage or stays with same battery change for days and then dies.

The exact same happened to mine, from the battery lasting a whole week to draining within 24 hours...

I encounter the same problem, starting Sep 2025. My fitbit Charge 6 is less than 2 years old, and this should not happen. 

The problem started overnight. Until then everything was OK.

I turned to the support team, and received the same answer, which was not really helpful for me.
