Both charge batteries died

[Tweets1964]

Both husband and me have a Charge 2. Mine was bought around June 2016, his was purchased December 2016.

I have continuously used mine until a couple of weeks ago, when the battery gave up.

Husband had a "break" from wearing his and didn't wear it for approx 12 months, possibly more, so when mine stopped working, I wore his. Within a week of mine packing up, his battery also died!!

Both fitbits are fully charged (that's what the phone says).

Husband's fitbit counts the first 20 steps and packs up again

Not good that one lasted 3.5 years and technically the other only had a "used" battery life of 2 years.

What to do??

When these types of batteries are not charged for a long period of time it ruins them. I surprised it lasted a week. Sorry

Might be worth reading my post all the way through, before making a "smart" and useless comment!!

I had been wearing my fitbit daily and charging each time it advised to recharge, until the battery died. 3 1/2 years is not a long time to own one. I have read 5-7 years is what is expected.

My husband's fitbit had not been used continuously, that's because it would not sync with his phone. Even so, it charged after not being used for approx 12 months, but the battery just died after a week or so later. 

Never mind, I was bought a fitbit Versa 2 recently, which I am sure might last 2 years if I am lucky!

Sorry but My Statement is still true. It charged up but now its not. When these batteries are not charged for long periods of time it kills them.
