Do make sure WiFi & Bluetooth is off. On FW 4.30.x and FW 4.31.x simply opening the Bluetooth setting page turns on the Wifi!
It also charges quickly on a 2A USB-A port mains charger.

Also make sure you are on Homescreen before connecting to Mac/Windows/Linux to avoid database corruption.
In my comparison of the Forma and the Sage:

I recorded my battery life figures: with the devices set up to look as much as possible as each other, the Sage got only 2/3 the battery life of the Forma. If it had had the same battery life, I'd have kept it (just because of the USB-C port). But, with that miserable battery life, no.
