Sense battery dying very quickly

[Coopthe3]

Just in the last 2 days I’ve found my Sense battery dying incredibly fast it use to last 4-5 days easy. I can’t even wear it overnight without it dying. I’ve seen a lot of suggestions about the spO2 app causing a drain but I don't use that so that can’t be the issue.  Also I get no notifications and use no other apps on the Sense, so I have nothing more to turn off to save the battery.  Running out of ideas.

Hello @Coopthe3 Welcome to the community forums! 

Thank you for the information! I'd like to let you know that there are other features or factors besides the ones that you mentioned that could drain the battery life of your Fitbit Sense. If you haven't done so, I'd recommend visiting the following help article that will provide tips to maximize the battery life: Can I extend my Fitbit device's battery life?

Hope this helps!

This is happening to me too - sense was 100% before bed but is now dead upon waking up.  Can someone advise on this?

Hi Wilson, this is happening to me too.  Two nights in a row now I fully charged bf bed and watch is dead in the morning. It’s not even a full year that I’ve owned the watch. In the weeks leading up to this, it’s not been syncing easily or sending me notifications from my phone.  I think there is an issue and I’m incredibly frustrated.  Thanks for any direction on next steps you can provide

@Danib0301 are you using iOS? If so, have a look at the following thread where Fitbit discuss a recent issue with Sense battery drain:

I’ve just put this up on the forum as well I updated my watch and ever since my battery is lasting 4 hours max. 
so annoying it’s got to be the update

Mine too I charge it at 100 % go to bed wake up for work and it's dead then charge it on my way to work it gets to 100%  then after 4 hours of works it's at 40%

This happened to me too...used to last for a few days, now its dead in 3-4 hrs.  And I have a Samsung not an Apple.

I am lucky if my Sense battery lasts 24 hours, and the watch is not even a year old.  I'm thinking of going back to using my Versa, which is much older, but it worked much better than the Versa.

Same.  Mine seems to be draining within 3 days... i got it about three weeks ago.  This is ridiculous for a device that claims 6+ days of life.

The "Detect Snoring" function on the Fitbit Sense consumes a lot of battery overnight. Please check if that is on / off.

Two things I would try.

1. Unpair the Sense from your phone and observe the battery life. If it improves, then uninstall the Fitbit app and download the app again and setup as for a new device.

2. Unpair the sense from your phone and factory reset it. Then set it up again as as a new device. Observe the battery life before installing any apps other than the installed defaults.
