If you have been using your Fitbit Versa 4 and the battery lasts the entire week but are now noticing it is going dead after only two or three days, adjusting the app settings found in your watch can help.
It can be as simple as turning off a few settings to extend the battery life.
Why is my Versa 4 Battery Draining so Fast
Your Fitbit Versa 4 Watch battery may be draining if you have turned on certain apps that are being used all day.
Depending on the app you are using, you may be using small or large amounts of data.
The more data used or required for the app to run, the more battery life is needed to keep the app running.
Also, if you live in a climate with extreme weather lows or highs it may prevent the Fitbit Versa 4 from working properly.
The two biggest apps that will drain your battery are the always-on display and the brightness app. We recommend that you start by adjusting these two features to extend the battery life of your Fitbit 4, as shown below.
- Swipe Down from the Top of the Home Screen
- Check if the Always-on Display and Brightness are On
- Tap the Brightness Icon to Turn Off
- Tap the Always-on Display to Turn Off
- Icons will not be Highlighted when Turned Off
Summary
The Fitbit Brand Watches are great when it comes to the battery life of the user. The Fitbit Versa 4 is no different and can last up to a week or more depending on the apps used on the watch each day. The Fitbit Versa 4 display screen does not need to be turned to always-on, you only need to move your wrist or tap the display screen to see the watch’s face turn on. Leaving the screen always on can drain the watch’s battery quickly, requiring more frequent charges. Also, as long as you don’t have apps always running in the background there is no reason why you should have to charge your watch more than once a week.
