- Google is releasing a battery performance program for Fitbit Sense and Versa 3.
- The update will reduce battery capacity, and affected users can claim $50, much like they could with the Pixel 4a.
- Failure to update may result in a factory reset and data loss.
Google took Pixel 4a owners on a wild ride this year, those still using this smartphone from 2020. The Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program update released in January 2025 reduced capacity by around 44%, halved the maximum charging speeds, and disabled features like Adaptive Charging and charging time ETAs. Now, Google is releasing a similar Battery Performance Program for the Fitbit Sense and Versa 3.
Fitbit Sense and Versa 3 Battery Performance Program
Google has posted a consumer notice for Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Versa 3 owners, informing them that a limited number of these devices are at risk of overheating batteries. Consequently, Google is rolling out an immediate firmware update that will reduce the risk of the battery overheating. However, the update will also reduce battery capacity as a side effect.
