Fitbit Charge 6 Battery Draining Quickly (1 Year Usage)

[alvinj95]

Is anyone facing this issue with Charge 6. I have been using my charge 6 for over a year. I have my heart monitoring and azm always on. AOD was never on. I constantly use it for workout tracking and sleep tracking and never had any issue with it. But more recently I charged to a 100 and overnight my battery dropped below 1%. And charged again to 90%, now the heart rate monitoring and azm is off, restarted the device a couple of times but it's still draining quickly. If anyone has any clue please do help out on what might be the issue and a possible fix.

Hello @alvinj95 

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 your Charge 6, it might be worth a try.
