I got my Zip for Christmas 2 days ago and the battery is supposed to last for 4 to 6 months. However, the app keeps telling me that the battery is low, then charged again, then low, etc. Does someone know if it's a problem with the app or the battery of the Zip? And what can I do about it?

@Leyla2511 Thanks for joining the Fitbit Community! That is very strange! For some reason, is it turning off sometimes? It could be that the battery is not having proper contact with the tracker itself and that could be why the app is sometimes telling you that the battery is low and then full. Try the following:
The side spring may be bent as a result of improper battery insertion or pressure being applied to the back housing. Please verify that there is proper contact between the battery and the battery contacts inside your Zip tracker. You can do this by opening the battery door of your Zip, removing your battery, and ensuring that the silver battery tab located in the lower right half of your tracker is flush with the white box outline in the tracker housing. The process can be followed here: http://imgur.com/a/l1KwH
Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes! ![]()

I get exactly the same message. I buy a new long lasting battery and with 4 months it is saying the battery is low. I have had the battery verfied that it is not low and has hardly been used. So I would like to send the Fitbit back so somebody within the company so they can see the problem with the battery still in it. Any idea of an address to send to?

@BKJAJ Thanks for joining the Fitbit Community! That is very strange! Batteries on the Fitbit Zip should lat up to 6 months without having to replace it. Note that constant tapping on its display may drain the battery quicker.
