My son’s fitbit Charge, which he received from a relative for Christmas 2016, does not hold its charge for any longer than 4 hours. This is driving him, and now me, mental. Does anyone know how I can either remedy the situation here at home, or where I can take it for repair in the vacinity of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia?
For a device like these the batterys overcharge very easily because they take such a short time to charge, I have have my fitbit hr charging for more than an hour if I can, it only really takes like 15 minutes. But it sounds like the battery might just have been defective, I’d contact fitbit and submit the device for RMA. Fitbit support page
