How do you improve Charge 6 battery life?

[yoksa]

How do people get the 8 days without a charge?

My charge 6 is showing 49% and that’s from taking g off the charger last night around 8 pm. It’s now 3pm. No workouts. Just sleeping and driving to work with a few timers through the day. Always on display is scheduled 9am to 7pm. While I’m at work. I also set gps for phone only.

Any other tips to help other than the AOD as I need it with my patients during the day?

I really love the style and everything about the tracker. Just wish I could get these great batteries I keep hearing about.

Thanks!!

Not sure how long it lasts with AoD during the day (today I need to recharge it so I will give it a go if the battery level drops that quickly). I use AoD only during activities and my battery lasts 7-8 days ('Phone' GPS). I believe AoD is the culprit here but I'll see on my Charge 6 how quick battery will drain.

Because the app constantly runs on mine and won't allow me to turn off app in background, I turn my Bluetooth off on my phone.This saves my battery from draining. Fitbit should allow whether we want it to sync all day or not on our phones.

I wish i knew, i'm getting very little time at all. AoD is off, i manually turn on the screen, lightness to dim, GPS is set to phone only. I keep losing bluetooth pairing going by the app. 49% after being charged to 100 yesterday, no workouts auto registered afaik. It's making me regret upgrading.

@yoksa I enabled now AoD and that drained batter from 100% to 69% within 25 hours. That probably can give approximately 2 full days and need to recharge on third day. My AoD runs for 16 ours daily (6am to 10pm). There was 1 hour workout tracked (no GPS, AoD during workout) and SpO2 is on. Looks like such setup consumes approx. 30% of battery within 24 hours. Not sure what else you can do to extend battery life if you need AoD. This is the biggest power consuming feature.

Thank you for sharing your comments with us about the battery life. I appreciate the helpful information provided by @Triletics.

In addition to the AoD feature mentioned before, in order to save battery I'd like to add this article: Can I extend my Fitbit device's battery life?
