@Mcrn Welcome to the Community. Sorry for the delay in my reply.

Let me help you with your Charge 2 battery draining quickly. Try cleaning the contacts using cotton swab with rubbing alcohol, then charge it by plugging it for a couple of hours directly to your computer's USB port (try different ports) or use an UL-certified USB adapter. After this, restart your device and see how it behaves. You can follow these instructions to help improve the battery life.

Let me know how it goes.

Thank you so much. I shall follow your advice.

I’ve been having the same issue for the past 2 weeks. It’s to the point that I have to charge mine daily... under a Stay At Home order 🤔.

Not ready to buy a new device. Any suggestions for a fix are welcome. 

I turned off the activity setting, auto-sync, HR monitor & stopped wearing it to sleep, nothing’s worked yet. I charged it to 100% at noon yesterday. It was at 75% by 4PM, 30% at midnight. Woke up this morning to put it on, it’s dead.

That makes two of us.  I followers advice suggested on “community”, cleaned all around with alcohol still didn’t help.  Tune for a new one? Not now.
