Fitbit Sense battery draining fast

[Rachel_G]

I've had my Sense for 5 months and the battery usually lasts for 5 days but the past few weeks it is only lasting 2 days. I let it die (hoping it would "reset" any issues) and then fully charged it to 100% yesterday and took it off the charger at noon and here it is 29 hours later at 38%. Any ideas how to fix this issue? I haven't changed anything in the past few weeks and I am disappointed it is dying so fast. I am going on a trip soon and will be disappointed if it dies on the first day or two.

Are you using the new Snore Detect feature?  That is a big battery user.  It is best used just for a few nights at a time.  You can turn it off on the phone app Sleep tile gear settings icon.

I had turned on the snore detect and it reduced the battery life almost in half.

Hi

If you've got snore detect turned on that will drain your battery 

Turn that off 

Also try restarting your sense see if that helps

@Rachel_G thank you for confirming that you had these features turned on. How has turning them off affected the battery life on your device? Hopefully you are having a better experience with your Fitbit Sense. If the battery has improved then just let me suggest you turn on these features for a short period of time (maybe a week) so you can take advantage of them and have a record on your account but them disable them to improve the battery life.

See you around.
