Versa 4 battery draining quickly

yesterday - last edited yesterday by Fitbit Moderator

yesterday - last edited yesterday by Fitbit Moderator

My almost 18 month old Versa 4 was lasting about 5+ days on a charge. Now after charging it overnight it barely lasts 20 hrs. before needing a charge. Screen is not on all the time and soft/firm ware has been updated. What gives? Planned obsolescence?

Hello there @iBmoonie, welcome to the Fitbit Community!

This situation is definitely frustrating. While "planned obsolescence" is a common concern, this drastic change is usually due to battery degradation or software/feature issues.

  • Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve battery issues.   
  • Check if any recent changes to settings or features might be affecting battery life.
  • Heavy use of features like GPS or always-on display can drain the battery faster.
