Airpods Pro 2nd gen case battery drain

i’m frustrated since I have taken it to genius bar. they stated my airpods were working fine even though I know there were something wrong. I have expected a fix from apple since it still has some guarantee running on. Therefore, I searched on the internet to find out what i need to turn off in order to remove this bugs. I have done everything starting from turning off the find my.

I would also consider to re-buy it again. do you think it is a good decision?

I know the feeling with being frustrated. Last senior advisor I talked to send they are working normally. They won't accept the fact there is something wrong with them. 1st gen never did this. I wouldn't bother re-purchasing them cause I don't think it would make a difference. Just my 2 cents anyways.

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.

“Please guy can you try what was said above turning off the left behind option and it did the trick for me even if it’s only a temporary fix , but I don’t get the drain at all since I did it .”

I don’t have the issue. So, I can’t try it. But give insight to Apple on your fix.

Keep trying it, leave the airpods fully charged in the case. The case doesnt matter if its somewhat drained, as long as it has some charge. Write down the percentage of the case and wait a few hours, it might lose 1% because it might have been almost about to change: example, if the case was at 92%, it could be almost at 91%, so you can probably see that drop pretty fast, but it shouldnt drop anymore till maybe a day or 2 after.

I want to let you know about what I have tested yesterday. so, I have used the airpods and put it back in the case (was at 90%) and it charged until around 81% until my airpods is fully charged. Then in the next 2 hours, the case slowly dropped to 80% and then 79%. The funny thing is now it stay at 79% without any drains. do you think the drop was normal or not?

It sounds about normal if it stops draining there. When you charge the airpods, it can well finish charging at the end of a % and will drop that 1% like right away even if the airpods are fully charged, thats normal. That extra 1% is sketchy, but if it stopped discharging, then it seems to be fine now. Give it more time without touching neither the airpods or open and closing the case, just check battery percentage on your phone.

I have currently want to try it out again and draining the whole battery in the case until zero so I can charge it from zero to 100 and I will see the result. But I still do not quite understand what the case drained even after both airpods has been fully charged for like 1 hour. sometimes, it starts draining at around 1.5 hours after using and sometimes it does not drain at all

Turning off notify if left behind still doesn't help. I'm still getting 18 to 20% drain a day when not being used. I've left numerous Bug feedback to apple, hopefully they will fix if they can figure it out.

You can’t go below 1% I tried over 2 hour and the battery had 1% , even when AirPods was like 80-90% but to be honest I tried first time 5 days ago that I made case 1% and then fully charge and I had no battery drain by it self, hope it’s fixed for me but I’m not sure , still in testing phase but like I said above emptying case battery and then charging again it might fix it if you have not done yet

Yep, I am currently on my way to drain all of the case battery to empty. This is the method that I haven’t tried before. Hopefully my airpods will back to normal after fully charged. But still, I will keep the notify airpods off from the settings.

Make sure to drain the AirPods all the way to zero also. I left both the case and AirPods at 0 for about 18 hours before charging them to full again. This method fixed my battery drain issues as it seems to give the case and AirPods a full reset. I also have Find My active and don’t get any drain issues.

By any chance are you using the custom audio setup function in accessibility? I turned that on and it started draining my battery again even with "notify me when left behind" off. I turned off the custom audio and now its back to not draining

yes indeed, but i guess when you brut force and disable find my it will disable also the notify me when left behind ... i had no time to check the whole tread here but is there someone who said that even with the option

disabled he still has the drain ?

which audio option are you talking about ?

KR

do you mean by the spatial personal audio?

I have always turned that on and I had tried without using it and it does not drain lots of battery. However, the price that you want to pay is the sound quality became lower and the audio quality is decreasing.
