Mi Band 2 and Mi Fit App Setting up for Better Battery Life - Let's talk Tech

Mi Band 2 & Mi Fit Setting Up for Extended Battery Life  -  Let’s talk tech 

Mi Band Up and Running 

The Mi Band 2 has already a very good battery life,  however its possible to get even as much as more then 2 months usage per charge if you configure your settings correctly, and to have the functionality you require.  Me being a lazy person, i will usually charge at around 26 to 30 days which with simple setting will be around the 70% mark remaining battery.  So in theory, the Mi Band 2 can last me as much at 3 months.  

My usage of Mi Band 2 is to function principally as

• A Pedometer
• A Watch

As such Many activities that consume Battery life both for the Mi Band 2 and for My Phone  Redmi Note 3 (Kate) can be scale down. 

• Most Important is Bluetooth, switch on when I want to down load the Mi Band data to phone, usually daily.   
• Display on Mi Band 2, to cycle between, Time > Steps > Heart Rate > Remaining Battery ( You can also display Distance walk n Calories consumed,  I will use the Phone Apps, for this information as I do not set daily targets for those)  You can set this At Profile > Mi Band >  Band Display Settings  

All the Choice you can choose to display on Mi Band 2

• All other Notifications, Setting is at Play, Incoming Call Alert, Alarm, Band Alert (apps alert from phone) and Idle Alert is switch off,  I only use this when I need Discreet (Band vibration) Notifications, Especially Alarm as it does not require Bluetooth.    

"Play"

Others
