Versa 3 battery draining quickly

[CoolBhai777]

my versa 3 dies quite quickly. I don’t use the gps feature that much that much but I do use AOD. It did last for around 4 days when I first got it, not like the 6+ days advertised. And now, just a few minutes after taking off charge, and battery is down to 85% (I only synced it once). I have a friend with a versa 3 that, in some cases, can last up to 2weeks, even tho he also uses AOD and GPS more than me. What is happening?

Hi there, @CoolBhai777. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for the details provided. I'm sorry to hear that your Versa 3's battery is not lasting as your friend's. I understand your concern, I will do my best to help you with this!

Please bear in mind that as all rechargeable batteries age, they deteriorate to some extent and an older device will need to be charged more often than a new one. The best way of minimizing this effect is to avoid deep discharges of the battery. To maximize the overall life of your Fitbit device's battery, ideally keep it between 20-80%.  Many people find that a daily battery boost works best ( e.g. giving it a 15 minutes charge while you are showering in the morning).
