Hello!

There was a recommendation to open a new chat forum if my Sense is still draining at incredibly high consumption rates.  I had it charged before going to bed last night at 100%.  When I woke up this morning, it was already down to 80%!  What do I need to do to extend the life of the Sense??!!??  I really like all the features so far, and if I can turn GPS off and on when needed for only my walks - then great, I'll do it!  What else is taking up the battery life?  I have only had this little guy less than a week, and have charged it up 3 times now!  Yikes and help!?!?

@smithrichie Welcome to the Fitbit community.

 

What are your settings? I can get 4 whole days with these settings:

Brightness dim, screen wake motion and button, always-on display off, snore & noise detection off, SpO2 on.

 

The biggest battery drainers, especially overnight, are the snore & noise detection and SpO2, but more so the snore & noise. With that option off, I only lose around 6-8% over 7 hours of sleep. I had it on for over a week and I don't snore and noise is minimal so it wasn't worth the drain. If I turned off SpO2 I would definitely get 5-6 days. I keep that on because it's part of the health metrics.

 

As for GPS, you can turn it off before starting a workout. Just scroll down and you'll see the GPS option.
