Versa battery is draining within hours

[Cashie414]

I have a Versa and yesterday my battery drained in less than 6 hours.  I charged it overnight hoping that it would boost it but this morning, it drained to 0 in less than 5 hours.  What is going on?  I looked in the help forum but it did not help.

Hi there, @Cashie414. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and for taking the time to look in the forums already. I understand your concern, I will do my best to help you! 

As a first approach, 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).
