Fitbit Versa 3 battery not holding

[Tobyjazz0816]

Have had my Versa 3 for slightly over 1 month.  Was great that battery would last from Friday to Friday.  This past Friday - did my usual and charged it to 100% - by Saturday night it was down to 18%.  Did nothing unusual (if anything did less being a weekend) Did not use any apps on it - strickly counting my steps.  Charged it again to 100% - 17 hours later is at 54% (and most of that was sleeping).  I chose Versa 3 for it's battery life versus an Apple Watch.  What is wrong?

Hi @Tobyjazz0816  - there may have been updates enabling new features or issues. Check the main drainers Snore detecting, SpO2 etc. How to resolve the Major issues causing short battery life.

Unfortunately there has not been an update to my Versa 3 - I do not have
things running in the background - this issue just started happening 3 days
ago. Have read the major issues and nothing helped me. Any other way to
fix this battery? Was working great - i would even take 4-5 days, not 2
days.

@Tobyjazz0816  - Probably best to contact Fitbit Support directly. They may be able to help you test the battery.

Also reachable via the Fitbit App, click profile photo, Help & Support, Contact Customer Support.

As it is still under warranty, if found faulty it may be better to take it to the shop for a new replacement, rather than accepting a refurbished replacement from Fitbit and dealing with sometimes drawn out return and shipping issues that may occur.
