Versa Battery Life

[VersaDad]

I’ve had my Bersa for less than a year and the battery life was...I repeat was fantastic. Four days per charge. 

About a a week ago, I can’t wear it for more than four hours before it completely drains. 

I’be turned off everything I could imagine, but the battery life is horrible.

Any suggestions!

I am on replacement #4 since receiving first Versa in April. My second Versa began doing the same thing. I tried every fix suggested in the forums. Contacted Fitbit. Followed thru with same fixes, documenting for a full day the time, battery percentages, etc. at Fitbit's request. One week after submitting my log, they agreed it was in fact dead. They replaced it with #3 which went to a black screen after six weeks. Rec'd #4 today. Can't wait to see how long it lives. So disappointed in this product.

What has been your experience? I am about to return my Versa. Charging every 2 / 3 days really does not make sense to me. I don't use the bulk of the features. I put it on and count steps. I have a feeling when I start recording work outs and listening to the business I won't be pleased.

Versa uses 1% battery per hour during the night. As soon as I start the day it jumps to 15% per hour. This started 6 weeks ago and I have factory reset three times since then and uninstalled all apps that the dashboard allows me to. What settings could I be missing?

Also, after reading about cleaning the contacts I have cleaned daily with no change to the pattern.
