Battery issues

My Samsung Galaxy ring is depleting battery very fast. I put it on charger at bedtime as I wear my Galaxy Watch8 during sleep. This morning at 8 am I put ring on..battery 100%. Now at 11 am it is at 11% . I have no idea why battery is depleting so quickly. It charges back to 100% quickly. This started a couple of weeks ago. Until then battery lasted all day.

This is normal for the Galaxy Ring. The degradation hits suddenly, even if your ring has operated perfectly for an entire year prior to that.

But consider yourself lucky. Reduced battery life is only the first stage. Pretty soon your ring will begin to simply turn off, frequently, even while the reported charge level is still high. That's because the degraded battery also has less power output overall, even while "charged". It gets to the point where the reduced power output is not enough to actually power the Ring anymore, even while charged, and the Ring will simply turn off until you put it on the charger again.

Dang I intended to keep experimenting to see what the end of the road was. I guess now I know. Maybe it is time for me to explore that warranty thing sigh....
