Versa's battery draining fast

[Alex9377]

Hello . My Fitbit versa is less than a year old but since the past month -month and a half the battery will not last for longer than 7h. If I put it on fully charged then with an hour I am on only 85% battery left and that is without notifications turned on, no exercise done, ... has anyone got the same issues and what can be done about it. Quite disappointed in my versa...

I logged into the forums today to see if anyone had posted exactly this.
We’ve not changed any settings but are lucky to get 2 or 3 days out of it at the moment.

Hi , thank you for the link to the settings that may help battery life but anything that is advised is already put into practice: no music, no wallet, no notifications, just the plain step counting etc and stil after 1h I have lost 15% battery life! I will have to hand it back in, hope you @Fitbit can either solve or exchange it...
