How to get your AirPods Battery replaced?

All electronic gadgets’ batteries deteriorate over time, and AirPods are no exception. You’ll probably need to change your AirPods battery if they’re old. Here are a few options for accomplishing this.

If your AirPods battery isn’t lasting very long, try the suggestions below!

Gets Airpods Battery Replaced by Apple

Apple provides a battery replacement service for AirPods.

In the United States and most other countries, AirPods come with a one-year warranty, much like other Apple goods. You may also purchase AppleCare+ to extend your warranty to two years. Furthermore, owing to local consumer legislation in some locations, such as the European Union, Australia, and Saudi Arabia, you are entitled to two years of warranty, which may be extended to three years with AppleCare+.

If your AirPods are covered by one of the aforementioned warranties, Apple will very certainly repair them or solve the battery issue for free. However, assuming there aren’t any production flaws, the battery in AirPods declines and performs much worse after only one or two years of use. So, for the most part, it implies you’re no longer covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee!

If your AirPods with old, degraded, or damaged batteries are out of warranty, Apple can service them for you.

Apple charges the following battery service fee for AirPods:

• AirPods 1st and 2nd generation: $49 for each AirPod
• AirPods Pro: $49 for each AirPod
• AirPods Max: $79
• Any AirPods Charging Case: $49
• Any AirPods Wireless Charging Case: $49

The above prices do not include tax or shipping fees, which can be about $6.95.

Note that the AirPods 3rd generation was introduced in October 2021, therefore the regular one-year warranty for those totally wireless headphones is still in effect.

How to check if your Airpods are covered by warranty or not

Here’s how to see your AirPods warranty status:

1) Get your AirPods serial number. To do that:

• Connect your AirPods to your iPhone and go to iPhone Settings > General > About. Scroll down and tap your AirPods name to see the serial number.
• Connect your AirPods and go to iPhone Settings > Bluetooth > (i) next to your AirPods, and you’ll see the serial number in the about section.
• If you can’t pair your AirPods, open the charging case lid and shine a bright light inside the lid. You’ll see the AirPods serial number. It’s 12 digits long.
• You can also find the serial number on the AirPods original box.

2) Visit Apple’s official Check Coverage page, enter the AirPods serial number here, solve the verification code, and click Continue.

Note: On iPhone, the Apple Support App Clip might show a card. You can tap View in Safari.

3) Here, you can see if Repairs and Service Coverage is expired or active.

What to do before taking your Airpods for battery repair to an Apple Store

Do the following to get your Airpods ready for service:

• Make sure you bring the AirPods Charging Case to the Apple Store with you. If you’re sending the AirPods in for repair, follow the same steps.
• If you’re repairing your AirPods Max, there’s no need to pack or mail the Smart Case.
• Remove the ear tips before mailing AirPods Pro for service. It’s possible that the Apple service centre will not return them if you send them.
• The Lightning cord and charger are not required to be shipped.
• It’s simple to verify your remaining warranty on Apple’s Check Coverage website. If you feel the information shown there is wrong, make sure you bring your genuine AirPods proof of purchase (bill, receipt) to the Apple Store.

With AirPods battery service, will Apple provide new or refurbished AirPods?

There is no clear answer to this question, since it is dependent on your specific situation and the Apple Service Center. After inspecting your AirPods, the in-store Apple specialist will give you a definitive response.

Aside from battery replacement, you may also replace a single or both lost AirPod(s) or the charging case. On this official support website, you can find out all you need to know.

Replace Airpods Battery Yourself

It is virtually never a good idea to change the AirPods battery yourself. Because AirPods are almost impossible to fix, the procedure is lengthy. The repairability of AirPods 1st, 2nd, 3rd generation, and AirPods Pro was scored 0 out of 10 by iFixit (with 10 being easiest to repair).
