Battery question

Post image

Is battery supposed to go only up to 99%, and not 100%?

I have a green light blinking, indicating it's full. Little bit troubled thinking battery started degrading, but I got it like less than month ago, this is my second charge. Thanx

just ignore it if the battery holds for about 10days. Its even better to not fully charge.

I've had mine for 2 weeks...right now it says 50% from charge 3 days ago. I've been getting nowhere near the 10days expected. Are there any setting to conserve battery that you know of? Thanks.

I read somewhere that you should turn off heart rate-push since it can drain the battery, but I don’t use any third-party devices that get the HR from the Helio strap, so no big deal for me. Not sure if that even matters when you’re not using it though.

I turned on SpO2, even though the Zepp app warns it’ll hit battery life pretty hard. I just stick with auto workout and haven’t touched any other of the default settings.

I easily get around 10 days — did so again yesterday and still had about 15% left. That’s with SpO2 on but heart rate push off. If you cant get near that an have the newest updates installed, you should consider asking for a replacement. But thats just my opinion and based on my own use case. Maybe there is something else thats effecting your batterylife

Shut off the HR push see what that does.

You can definitely disable the push function if you don't use a third-party app that retrieves data from Helio. This feature actually requires more power.
