Can somebody please tell me the specifications of an Inspire 2 battery

Hi..I have been using my Inspire 2 since about an year now, and it gives a good performance but for the battery backup which is about a day and a half right now.. What should I do? I cant go in for a new device right now... Can somebody please tell me the specifications of an Inspire 2 battery?

Hello @Mak_ker 

I believe they are Lithium ion polymer batteries… or according to the internet more correctly lithium-ion polymer battery, is a rechargeable battery of lithium-ion technology using a polymer electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte. High conductivity semisolid polymers form this electrolyte. But that’s a guess…but a good starting point for research
😉I hope that was what you were looking for. Please let me know if that answered your question.

@Mak_ker have you tried restarting it? My Inspire 2 lasts at least 12 days between charging. Here is some more info about extending the battery life of your device: click here 

User replacement of the battery is not recommended, unfortunately.

Hi, @Mak_ker , as a previous poster has mentioned, Fitbits use a modern lithium ion battery.

As I am sure that you are aware, all rechargeable batteries have a limited number of recharge cycles (we can’t escape the laws of physics!) and all rechargeable batteries will degrade over time.

How long a rechargeable battery - on a Fitbit or any other device - lasts depends to a large extent on how it is treated.  Repeatedly allowing a modern lithium ion battery to go into deep discharge, or discharge completely, will significantly shorten the life of the battery.  Users who never recharge their Fitbits until they are complete.y dead will usually report significant deterioration after only one year - so that is really not a good idea!

For best results, always keep your battery level at between 20 - 80 %. Of course, life intervenes!  You will not do any real harm if your Fitbit occasionally runs out of battery completely: a few deep discharges really won’t do significant harm, but if you would like it to last as long as possible, don’t do that regularly.

The best advice I have been told is little and often.  So each day, when you know you won’t be active for a while, just pop it on the charger and you will never worry about being out of battery.  If your Fitbit is a little bit older, then maybe the advice to put it on the charger for the 15 minutes or so while you are in the daily shower or getting ready for work, is no longer enough (it will need more time on the charger as it ages, just like us!) then maybe charge it in the evening when you are sitting reading or watching television (or like me, wasting time on the internet...)

The short take away is little and often on the charger will keep your Fitbit always ready to go.  And that’s also best for battery life.  If your Inspire 2 battery is still lasting about a day and a half, I think with a careful charging regimen you’ll find it keeps going quite a long time yet.

Hi .. Would like to know whether Fitbit replaces the battery for the users?? Also, how old is your Inspire 2? Is it possible mine has a battery issue?? and if so what should i do?? 

P.S.: Thanks for the reply.. Also.. I had already tried out all of the suggestions in the link...and now it stands at 1 and a half day

Thanks for the advice.. Will keep in mind...

Hi, @Mak_ker , unfortunately Fitbit does not replace batteries.
