Sense battery drains quickly

[Blondie7038]

I’ve had my Sense less than a month and barely lasts two days. My steps are lessening since it’s always on the charger. I find this very frustrating. My versa 2 was close to two years old and Had triple the battery life. Any advise?

Hi @Blondie7038 - the Snore detection and SpO2 tracker app can use up to 4 days of the 6+, see others in How to resolve the Major issues causing short battery life.

Hi there, @Blondie7038. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Sense. I understand where your concern is coming from. 

Are you using Snore Detection? If so, please note that the Snore Detection feature does impact your device’s battery, so we recommend charging your device to at least 40% before going to bed. For more information, see How can I use my Fitbit device to detect snoring and noise levels while I sleep? 

However, I'd like to share with you that the battery life will depend on how frequent certain features are used in general. Because you're using an Always-On Display clock face, I'd recommend changing the clock face to another one made by Fitbit and monitor your it's behavior in the next day. Additionally, try turning off this setting by opening the Settings app on your watch > Display > Always-on display.

Hope this helps.
