Vivosmart 5 Battery Life

Ian
over 2 years ago

I bought a new VivoSmart 5 last week and on the whole am very happy with it.  However, the battery doesn't seem to last any more than about 2 days.

So far, I've changed the following settings, to try and improve battery life:

  • Switching off the bluetooth on the device until I'm ready to sync it to my phone;
  • Setting the Timeout to Short;
  • Setting the Gesture to Off;
  • Disabling move alert - I sit at my desk for long periods so this one is fairly redundant;
  • Disabling the relax reminder;
  • Enabling DND during sleep;
  • Disabling high and low heart rate alerts;

With all of these settings in place, I'm still struggling to get the device's battery to last much beyond 48 hours.  Is there anything else I can deactivate?

TIA

    You can try to disable pulse oximetry if you have that enabled. Also check if you by accident is transmitting HR. Lastly try to restart the device, by turning off - wait for some 30 seconds - and then restart.

    I also got myself i VS5 a while ago, mainly for sleep tracking and resting HR. I have setting similars to yours, with pulse ox off. I manage to get some ten days from fully charged to empty. And so should you. You may have gotten a device with poor battery, but I hope my suggestions will be of help.
