Battery Life

[Gerry160648]

Just want to express (for the first time) dissatisfaction with Customer Services. 

My Surge has noticeably shorter battery life recently with no changes in Settings.

I received what appears to be a standard response from Customer Services ie turn off heart rate monitoring, turn off GPS, etc.

If I was to do what they suggest I might as well not have an activity tracker !!

Has anybody else noted a deterioration - the frustration is that I know what the battery life used to be and I was perfectly happy a few months ago.

Has anybody got any sensible solution - can the battery be changed ??

Regards

Gerry

Also how old is it as they do not last forever.
