Fitbit charge hr battery will not hold charge for longer then one day? Is this normal?

Question

Alia · Accepted Answer

My battery would initially last about 3-4 days before needing to be charged. With my 1st FitBit Charge HR I noticed it stopped holding a charge as long after about a year. I'm guessing its like the issue with overcharging a cell phone battery. It can create a memory and only charge to that point...However, I can say the Jawbone really does have a much better battery life.

I would recommend:

Jawbone - UP3 Activity Tracker + Heart Rate - Black

No, sounds like you've got a battery that's failing. If you're in warranty, see about a replacement.

No not normal. Mines last well over a week before I have to charge. May be defective. Hope you purchased geek protection.

Try letting your Fitbit completely discharge to the point will it will not even turn on, then charge it to its capacity. Do this for the next three charges. You should see it lasting longer and longer. They say the new batteries don't develop memory, but I have found they still do sometimes. If this works for you, make sure in the future you don't charge it until you get the email warning that it is low.

My battery lasts longer than one day, usually a few days.
