Versa 4 battery draining quickly

[BEEF2468]

The past 2 weeks I am always putting it on the charger, like DEAD DEAD after 2 days! I used to get low battery warning for days...and now it seems all messed up! Can someone tell me how to fix this??  I have minimal apps.

Hi @BEEF2468 - battery life can get shortened for many different reasons.

So a few things to try

• Change clock face
• Run with Bluetooth off (most of the time)
• In Quick Settings turn off all icons
• See other options How to resolve the Major issues causing short battery life. 

For a longer term test, fully charge and sync, turn on sleep mode and place the watch face down somewhere it can't detect movement and straps out of the way and turn Bluetooth off, to see how long it lasts.

If it is still short it is possibly a watch problem and a factory reset would be the last thing to try as it can fail and if you live in the EEA you will only be allowed to install Fitbit stuff.

It is a good idea to make a note of the names of any clocks and any special watch or app settings you use before the reset or replacement if necessary and still under warranty.

Hi there, @BEEF2468. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm sorry to hear that the battery of your Versa 4 is draining, I understand your concern. @Guy_ Thank you so much for your help and advice! 

As a first approach, please bear in mind that as all rechargeable batteries age, they deteriorate to some extent and an older device will need to be charged more often than a new one. The best way of minimizing this effect is to avoid deep discharges of the battery. To maximize the overall life of your Fitbit device's battery, ideally keep it between 20-80%.  Many people find that a daily battery boost works best ( e.g. giving it a 15 minutes charge while you are showering in the morning).
