How to resolve Powerbeats power issue?

my Powerbeats won’t turn on. I’ve tried charging them and the red light won’t even turn on . I’ve also held de power button and volume down button for 10 seconds but they’re still not turning on

One thing to keep in mind with rechargeable Lithium batteries is that if they are left uncharged for extended period of time, as I mentioned, they tend to lose their ability to be charged again, or at least, not fully charged.


Two months may not be an issue, unless they were completed discharged. Since you have already tried resetting them and you are still not seeing any sign that they are charging could indicate that their batteries may now be defective. Apple does offer a service to replace these batteries for you and I don't think it required that you purchased them directly from Apple.

There are a number of Beats PowerBeats earpods models.


  • Which exact ones do you have?
  • Did you purchase them new directly from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller ... or from another third-party seller?
  • Regardless, how long have you had them?
  • Was this always an issue, or did this start happening recently?
  • Were they ever left fully discharged for an extended period of time (think months or years)?
