I used to only have to charge my Ionic every 3-4 days but a few months ago the battery seemed to suddenly decline.  I'm home sick currently so not using/wearing my watch and it was flat in under 48 hours with no use at all.

 

A few weeks ago I did a 6 hour hike and had it fully charged and still on charge up until just before I left, so was 100% before leaving.  It was flat within about 3 hours of my starting my hike.  I've previously used it for full day hikes and it hasn't gone flat with GPS on.  This was the main reason I bought the watch so it's pretty much unusable like this.

 

I've read what other people have posted and nothing you have suggested has helped.  It is 1.5 years old.  So should I take it back to where I bought to see if they can repair/replace it?  Thanks

@Erin92 I charged mine on Saturday. It's Tuesday. I'm at 41%, is this good or bad?

 

Yes, it sounds like in your case with a 3-hour death your battery is reaching its end of life. I've certainly seen units that suffer like this and when they do, it's time to replace the battery or get a new tracker, so definitely, if you're able to get it repaired or swapped for another unit, this would be your easiest and quickest solution. Please let us know how it goes!
