AirPods 4 battery discrepancy despite equal usage

Hi everyone!


Literally I bushed becuase I bought a new Airpods 4 almost 10 month ago, but my problems started like 5-6 months ago. One of the pod’s dies faster, there’s 10-15% difference between the two pod. But both they were at 100% when I started to use and I use them the same way, never take out one of them, so the two pods stay the exact same time in my ear. I tried to bring them back where I bought because I still have the guarantee, but the service diagnosis results came back as the Airpods have no problems. I mentioned that i can show pictures that one of the dies faster so I don’t know why the results said it has no problems. They suggested to call apple support and/or take to an other reseller maybe they found something. I call them but it didn’t solve the problem than I take to an other service and the result is the same that they didn’t find any problem.

I really appreciate if someone can help me!

Give this a try:  Find your lost AirPods with Find My - Apple Support.


If that doesn't help and since you're still in warranty make an appointment at the nearest  Apple Genius Bar and take them in for a free diagnostic check. I had the same problem and the first time I too them in they replaced both AirPods. The problem persisted so took them back in and they replaced the case. Haven't a a problem since. They work beautifully.
