airpods not showing proper battery percentage

Hi, Erik.I11.

I see that the battery level of your AirPods shows on your iPhone, but it never seems to change even after you've used them for a bit. I'm happy to help.

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- Restart your iPhone. Once it's returned to the Home screen, test the issue.

Use your AirPods -- If restarting your phone didn't help, reset and set up your AirPods again.

If you can't set up your AirPods

If you don't see the setup animation when you try to set up your AirPods with your iPhone, follow these steps. After each step, try to set up your AirPods again.

1. Make sure that your AirPods are charged.
2. Close the lid, wait 15 seconds, then open the lid. The status light should flash white.
3. If the status light doesn't flash white, press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until you see the status light flash white.
4. Still can't set up your AirPods? Press and hold the setup button for at least 15 seconds, until you see the status light flash amber a few times and then flash white.

Let me know how that goes and take care!

Thank you for reporting back with that information, Eric.l11. We're glad to see that half of the issue has resolved. We have more for you to try as well.

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- If you didn't have a chance to see if restarting your iPhone would help, restart your phone. Once it's returned to the Home screen, test the issue again.

Set up and use third-party Bluetooth accessories -- Unpair your AirPods, restart your iPhone again, then pair the AirPods once you're able.

Unpair a Bluetooth accessory

To unpair a Bluetooth accessory, tap Settings > Bluetooth, find the device you want to unpair, and tap , then Forget this Device.

When you Forget this Device on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, that accessory is removed from the list of available Bluetooth devices. To add the Bluetooth accessory to your device again, place it back in discovery mode and repeat the steps above to pair it again.

Again, thanks and let us know if that's helped when you're able.
