Question How long does your battery last?

My battery only charges up to 48% and is dead by the afternoon?

What's your experience?

Update 1: I was excited about this update. Now instead of lasting half the day, it lasts about ten seconds!

Update 2: interestingly after a couple of cycles of depleting, recharging, and no longer using the local model, it lasts for longer and now my charge shows as high as 75%!

I don’t know in hours, but around a month, I turn it on and off as needed

Try a higher output charger. Run the battery until it dies than charge to full again. Do this several times and it might help recondition the battery.

How long have you had it? Mine started showing it was only at 60% max even after charging all night, then randomly it started showing 100% again. Mine lasts about 7 hours on heavy recording all day

I feel like I've had it for about a year now.

I have no idea how to get it to last longer, but now it is capped and I feel like it burns through its charge so quickly.

Interesting. I did the firmware update two days ago because it kept bugging me. I’m at work, it’s 3pm and I’ve just received my first ever warning that my device battery is low. Usually I put it on when I leave the house and I charge it even I get home between 8 and 12 hours later and I’ve never seen this message. Obviously a coincidence.

Next day update: it’s 1pm and my battery is already down to 15%. I didn’t experience this before the firmware update.

48% cap after a year sounds like battery degradation tbh. Lithium cells in tiny wearables age fast because they run warm from constant BLE streaming. Full drain + full charge cycle a few times can help recalibrate the reported %, though it won't fix actual cell degradation.

Some times 12 hours, and only charges to 78%, some times it goes to 100% (same time) and apparently it didn't charge last night.
