This is my second Fitbit Versa, as I had to have the first one replaced as the battery was lasting less than 24hrs. This one was great at first lasting just over 4 days but it’s slowly lasting less and less. I’m now finding it’s only lasting about 2.5 days and I’ve only had it 2 months!!

 

anyone else having this issue and are there any updates or tricks I can do to get it lasting 4 days again?

 

i haven’t changed any setting since purchasing, haven’t even updated the weather or music app only use it for steps/sleep/heart rate and exercise. Have now also turned off all day sync and that hasn’t helped.

 

If not will have to get another replacement and hope it’s third time lucky!!

My only thought is are you looking after the battery properly? Lithium ion batteries need to NOT be allowed to fully discharge or be run to low before charging (the occasional full discharge seems OK but not as a regular thing). Best charged at about a third full. Other than that, try restarting it several times (hold the left and bottom right buttons in for 10 to 15 seconds until the fitbit logo comes up.
