Battery testing results: idle drain is 1.9% per hour

[scootley]

I did some battery testing on the Ace LTE since I had read some reviews about battery life being poor.

With bluetooth turned off and wifi turned off (forcing it to use LTE), it drained from 94% to 83% over a period of 5h49m.  During this time, I only used it to check the clock.

So that works out to a drain of 1.9% per hour, which seems ok to me for idle drain.

This is without the always on display, and without battery saver, but Tilt-to-wake to kept on.  Running the most recent software update.

screen timeout period was unchanged from the default.  no "school time" was set.
I traveled to several locations across an area of 75 miles (120km) during this time.

I did notice that their support page on battery says the 16 hour spec is based on:
"Typical usage is based on a school day with 6 sessions of 5-minute gameplay, 10 messages, 3 one-minute voice calls, 5 location checks, 2 payments and 4 hours with Wi-Fi connectivity."

Hello @scootley 

Thank you for sharing your battery testing results. This will be helpful to other users & those considering the Fitbit Ace LTE.

So my two kids have Ace LTEs and, for one of them, the battery drains about 60% each night when Off-Wrist. Even if battery saver is on.. The other watch has no issue. If both are at 100% when I go to bed (I don't let the kids sleep with them to avoid distractions), one will be at about 92% and the other at about 40%. Anyone else experiencing this issue? 

P.S. if I factory reset it, which Google support would probably have me do.. will she lose all her stats and her eejie/bit valley stuff?
