What's the deal with Go Plus battery life

I just changed my go plus battery maybe t days ago. Already the low battery icon is back. This is now the second time its happening. When I first started using it the battery that was included last well over a month. The first time I replaced the battery the same thing happened. Both times were brand new batteries. What gives?!

I bought a few batteries from a well known brand and I have the first of them in use since 2 months and still running fine. I use the Go+ about 2 hours a day.
So I would recommand you to buy another (more expensive) brand and try again.

I don't totally trust that low battery icon.
I have a button battery tester, the battery was fine.
I ignore the icon until my battery is dead-dead.
I carry a spare battery with me, it takes 2 seconds to change it out.

3 plus months and I haven't change my battery. My usage varies from 1 hour to 4 plus hour a day.

I use my Go+ 4-8 hrs every day. Bought name brand battery and it’s “still going” a month later. I know that if you minimize the app the go is still connected.

Did you look at the expiration date on the battery? Most likely the battery your having issues with is an old stock battery. I bought single expensive batteries from CVS and Home depot that died after a couple days and a week respectively and thought the same thing. So I got a 20 pack of well reviewed knockoffs from Amazon and havnt had any issues since. Batteries are like fruit you want them fresh.

I've been having issues with mine lately too. I've gone through at least 6 batteries in the last month. I've tried several different brands with the same result. I've tried ignoring the low battery icon, but within a day or so it will start randomly disconnecting.
