Charge 6's battery is draining to fast

[KatherineNY]

Charge 6 showed 46% battery this morning.  I inadvertently left Bluetooth enabled on my Pixel 7a on all day and by 5:30pm, noticed my Charge 6 battery was down to 8%. 

I thought battery usage is negligible with Bluetooth, 1% to 3%?

Hi @KatherineNY, welcome to the community, and thanks for already trying some steps!

I understand your frustration with your Charge 6's battery life. Let's take a few things into account:

• Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve battery issues.   

• Check if any recent changes to settings or features might be affecting battery life.

• Heavy use of features like GPS or always-on display can drain the battery faster.

@EstuardoFitbit I don't have any battery drain issue for my device. Just today. I don't have always-on display.

I'm asking if leaving my Bluetooth enabled on my phone caused the battery drain faster on the Charge 6.  Because 38% drain over only 10 hours is tremendous when there was no change to any settings and I did not use GPS.

I don't think the bluetooth should be an issue. I leave mine on all the time. I recharge my FitBit at around 6am and come next morning the battery has only gone down to around 85%.

I didn't think the Bluetooth would be the cause but nothing else changed. Leaving on the Bluetooth was the only thing different.
