Inspire 2 battery draining quickly

[Donnerotown]

My battery is draining overnight. I charged it and by the morning it's at 30%, from being on at 100% when I go to bed.

Hi there, @Donnerotown. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Inspire 2.

If you haven't done so already, please make sure that you've followed the steps provided in this article to improve battery life in general, as this has been generally useful for other users. In addition, please confirm that you've restarted your Inspire 2 as described here How do I restart my Fitbit device?

The battery can last up to 10 days; because battery life is affected by use and other settings, actual results may vary, but the battery shouldn't be draining only after a few hours.

This is happening to me too, suddenly it drained in a few hours, I charged it again and the same thing keeps happening. I've only had it for 8 months and customer service says "It doesn't meet the replacement requirements of our warranty policy." They sent an email with a link that isn't functioning. I've lost confidence in the product.

This is a non-answer.  Are we supposed to restart it and that will help?  A direct answer would be more helpful--

The direct answer is the batteries in the Inspire 2 are bad.  They have been from the beginning.  They last 5-6 months, then quickly die.  I just threw away my second Inspire 2 for this reason.  The first one lasted 6 months, was repaired under warranty, and then lasted another 5 months.  This one lasted 5 months.  After calling Fitbit, I was offered a replacement (which I assume would be a refurbished one that someone else sent in for the bad battery) or 50% off a new Fitbit (any model).  I decided to upgrade to the Charge 5.  It arrives today. Save yourself the aggravation, and get something else.  The other issue the Inspire 2 has is after a few months, the screen begins to dim to the point you can't see it in the daylight.

Same thing is happening to me. I've tried your suggestions but doesn't fix the issue. 

I've posted the same as OP just a few minutes ago. Is this a common occurrence on these models? 

Is it the firmware version? 

For me it went from lasting almost a week, to lasting less than 12 hours.

Like others mentioned, this is my second Fitbit that breaks right after warranty expires.
