Airpods Pro 2nd gen case battery drain

Yeah lol. Well the strange thing is that after I turned it on again, I had the airpods themselves and the case charged to 100% and it didnt drain at all for like 5 hours, but then I used the airpods and dropped the charge to like 49% then I put them in the case and the case dropped to 91% which to that point everything seemed about right. Then I left them sit there and 5 hours later the battery in the case was at 85%, so it dropped 6% in 5 hours without touching them and the actual airpods already been charged to 100%. Now after posting "never mind dont turn on notify me when left behind" I turned it off again and the drain stopped. At least we are pinpointing the problem, just hope Apple reads this lol

Yeah, I was also clueless when genius bar did the hardware checking especially in the battery section and it passed everything!

in my mind, I am also thinking that it could be the hardware faulty that’s why I consider to buy a new pair. Strangely, the rest of apple audio devices has new software but not with airpods pro 2nd gen. I think it was not fair to us who are facing this issue.

1. Try to charge your AirPods Pro 2 at 85%-90% but never 👎 at 100% !!!
2. Also when listening 👂🏽 to music 🎧 avoid putting loud or high volume.
3. avoid charging your AirPods overnight
4. don't too much use the functions abilities of the AirPods Pro 2 like volume , try to limit it

This is an ongoing issue that Apple continues to fail to acknowledge is a widespread problem.

I have the same issue.

here is the fix that worked for me.

Forget Airpods Pro 2nd Gen from your bluetooth.

reconnect. Boom it’s fixed

basically the battery in case is always rights, its just the numbers which are showing wrong in the settings, its a software issue not a hardware issue.

Didn’t work for me. Also I noticed that the “Play Sound” isn’t working on Find My for the AirPod Pro 2 either. I’m going into the Apple Store. This product is not the quality that I’ve come to know and expect from Apple.

I think this may be a software problem. I started to experience rapid battery drain on my first gen AirPods Pro case in the fall shortly after updating to iOS 16 A little over a week ago I got the second gen AirPods Pro and I’m already having the same issue on this brand new pair. Wouldn’t surprise me if the come out with a patch for it soon.

I think this is the price to pay if you want to be able to find your case since the case has always to talk to the network to show its location however I find it s using way too much battery doing this to bad I turn find my off for the AirPods and I don’t have that battery drain again … sad this is not communicated by Apple …

I also thought I had this problem with the case, however after doing some testing with everything fully charged I removed AirPods from case and had all three sitting for separately not being used for 24 hours and case was still at 100% however AirPods were at 48%. They replaced the AirPods so I'm on my 2nd pair and these are even worse after 17 hours they were at 42%. I agree these are faulty production, 1st generation I had no issues.

Actually the problem is not the whole find my function, though it works how you explain, you are eliminating the whole find my function which like you said, its something we want to have working at all times. I discovered its only the "Notify me when left behind" setting in the find my app, I turnes it off and it solved the issue and my find my still works, it just wont notify me when I leave them behind somewhere, which again, its NOT a real fix but at least you have most of the functions working. Still, Apple need to fix this ASAP

No you dont have to turn the actual notifications, you go into the find my app (in the actual app, not in the settings) go into devices, click o your airpods pro2 and scroll down to where it says "notify me when left behind" and turn that off, it will only be off for the airpods

its just a glitch on the new update, reset your airpods and forget them on your phone. Then do a whole new pairing, once paired, on your find my app, go into "devices" tap on your airpods and on that screen where it shows the "play sound, find and notifications" there is a "notify me when left behind" under notifications, turn that off for a bit then turn it back on, your case should be fine after that. It worked for me

I just discovered that you can turn it back on and all stays fixed, so your airpods can work as they should with no handicaps. 👍🏼 I been testing it for about 5 hours and my case has not drained at all, its been at 100% ever since. So thats the real permanent fix, turn off "notify me when left behind" and just turn it back on if you need/want it on. The fix stays fixed

Ok never mind, dont turn "notify me when left behind" it will start draining again, just lost 5% since my previous post till now by turning it on again. So yeah the "fix" is turning off "notify me when left behind" on the airpods in the find my app
