Ledger Nano X Battery Draining too Fast?

The Ledger Nano X’s battery

The Ledger Nano X rocks a 100mAh lithium-ion battery, which Ledger claims should last you several hours of active usage, while it should last you a few months of idle time on a full charge.

Maintaining the Ledger Nano X’s battery health

You simply charge the Ledger Nano X like other electronic devices like smartphones — by plugging it in on a computer or a power socket.

Just like any other electronic device, it would be healthier for your battery if you put it on charge only when necessary and leaving your device plugged in and charging can degrade your battery quicker.

Ledger Nano X’s battery is draining too fast

Device age

If you’ve had your Ledger Nano X for a few years already, expect the battery to degrade gradually. At some point, the device will have bad battery life — the same with other devices such as smartphones and laptop computers.

Brand new device, but has very bad battery life regardless

If your Ledger Nano X is brand new (and purchased on the official Ledger website) and has a really bad battery life compared to what’s advertised, then you probably received a faulty device.

Device or battery replacement

If it’s the case that your Ledger Nano X has very bad battery life even if it’s brand new, we suggest contacting Ledger support and requesting a device or battery replacement. You can contact Ledger support here.
