Airpods Pro 2nd gen case battery drain

Is that an airpod firmware or are you talking about the ios firmware? Also if you read through the thread, youll see that Im the one who discovered turning off the "notify me when left behind" would fix the issue, all other "fixes" are placebos. Not draining the battery, not resetting the airpods, nothing else works but turning off "notify me when left behind". Obviously turning off "find my" will also work, because you are actually turning off the "notify when left behind" by doing that. But the pinpoint problem is "notify me when left behind" by turning that off, you dont have to turn off the entire "find my" feature.

Today my airpods are working great since the firmware update. There are no battery drain after fully charged and surprisingly the optimized charging does back online!

note : I have turned on everything like normal even with the ‘notify left me behind’ feature

Ot could also be that you didnt insert one airpod correctly into the case, I have done that and my case keeps discharging and my airpods are never fully charged. Good way to find out when a discharge that big happens, is by pulling one airpod from the case then see the percentages for each airpod and see if one was not charging correctly.

That sounds about right, and dont get discouraged if it drains a couple of percentages al of a sudden, it will stop there. Mines drop 2% per day and usually its one percent right after the other, but it stops there and so on. So yeah it looks like its finally fixed. I did do a lot of research with mine, trying different things till I pin pointed the problem, the "notify me when left behind", that was the main problem. I should get paid by Apple lol. Well im goad to help and hopefully you can now enjoy your airpods without further worries

Have you tried to reset them completely? I had a few issues straight after purchase where battery showed weird percentages and case drained quickly etc. however, a couple of people on this forum explained that often a reset will cure these type of bugs and it certainly worked in my case so I’d say give it a go as it may sort your issues.

Are you totally sure you are resetting the airpods to factory reset or are you just unpairing and pairing? Check youtube on how to factory reset. A lot of people have gotten it wrong on the reset part and were only unpairing...you have to do a complete factory reset.

Hi everyone,

First time I got the 2nd generation, I leave home without them & get regular warning that I had “forgotten” them.

I disabled my home address in FindMy didn’t notice any specific issue.

Then I go on holiday & I leave the AirPods in the place I stayed, I get the warning & I didn’t want to disable my holiday address in case when I leave I really forget them.

This is when I started to experience super fast battery drain on the case.

I ended up disabling my holiday address & now it seems ok like max 5% loss per day when it was maybe 25% before !!!

I suppose when you “forget” them, they very often locate & message, which drains the battery.

So it might not be a bug & not using FindMy is probably too extreme.

Just be careful that places you leave your AirPods often & not necessarily forget them are disabled in FindMy.

Wierd thing that worked for me. Tried every possible solution found on the Internet. Nothing works. Start to think that my Mac battery widget is a problem. Go to my iMac bluetooth setting and forgot my AirPods. Strangely it also un pair them from my iPhone. Pair them again from iPhone and for now (four days) there is no drain from the case at all. Sound strange. I know.

Tuen off "Notify Me When Left Behind" on your airpods in the findme app. That fixed if for me

It should be there, "notify me when left behind" and the problem is within that function because my airpods case last days now without losing not even 1%

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 .

you dont have to turn off the whole "find my" just turn off "notify me when left behind" that the real problem!

New update for the airpods guys, new firmware update is 5e135, go check and see if you already have it. I recommend you do a factory reset after updating just to make sure no bugs stay in the cache

The only thing that worked for me was not charging them wirelessly. I experienced the 1% to 2% battery charging issue when charging wirelessly. As much as it sucks. Regular charger works just fine.

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
