Battery lasts 1.5 days at the best

[Lars_A]

Hi,

My Ionic has suddenly started to drain a lot of battery.

I have tried to restart the Ionic couple if tines.

I have always keept it updated to latest software and firmware version.

I have shutdown phone notice functionallity to save battery.

Nothing helps, got at the best 1.5 days battery time.

What shall I do?

Do you get a lot of notifications? Ther have been reports of bad battery life after the recent update where the watch lights up every time a notification is received if you get a lot. Id suggest you contact Support in any case (link in my signature)

Not so many.

I have turned that function off but the battery time is not improving.

I've been having the same problem for a while now, @Lars_A.  Another user told me you must charge up to 100% (not 99%) every time or it will drain more quickly, for some unknown reason.  I find that does help sometimes but lately, I'm lucky to get 1.5 - 3 days of battery life when I got almost 5 with my Blaze before.  I don't use music or GPS, only notifications, reminders from various apps and Exercise modes to track my workouts.  I changed my screen brightness to Dim and my Display Awake is middle of the road at 20 seconds.

Any other suggestions to improve battery life?

I have also seen difference between 99 and 100 procent with about 0.5 day extra 1.5 days instead of 1 day
