Charge 6 - super fast drains battery

[mtchanov]

Hi, I have Charge 6 since late July 2025. Starting 18.09.2025 the device started drain batery for less than 22 hours from 100% to 5% whithot any change of usage habits; now, 1 week later it bearly drains from 100% to 5% for about 12 hours. 

Before last week, the battery usually standed for 5-7 days.

How I shoud proceed?

Regards

@mtchanov have you tried restarting the device? That's usually the first step in troubleshooting. The instructions are here if you need them.

Good to see you for the first time in the community @mtchanov. 

Thank you for letting us know the difficulty that you are experiencing with your Charge 6. Thank you for trying to fix it through the restart. 

Please, make sure to follow the points listed in this help article: Extend your Fitbit device's battery life.

Thanks for your help @alexthecat.

Thanks for the proposal, in fact I have tried all the possible recommendations listed for extending the batter life... still they did not helped... It is not about extending the life... in fact there is a drastic and full not-holding-the-charge situation, not just a slightly almost not visible reducing.

simillar issues here: mainly after some august update i think the battery monitor/charging started to behave strange.

Either drains completely after a few hours even though starts from 70% either shows some tens of % for 1-2 days and after compete shudown.

Not sure if is a typ dead battery scenarion or AI software cost reduction involvement and should wait maybe some developer has the time to look into it.
