With the announcement of Apple’s iPhone 14 lineup last month, it also announced the second generation AirPods Pro 2. Apple cited the new model’s improvements in sound quality, upgrades to noise cancellation and passthrough sound, and a bump in the AirPods Pro’s expected battery life. Thanks to a 3C certification, we now know exactly how much more battery capacity you will find.
There is a 15% capacity increase on individual AirPods. Each now has a 49.7 mAh battery compared to the first-generation 43.24 mAh. The charging case itself didn’t see a huge capacity bump. In addition to now supporting MagSafe magnetic charging, the battery saw a slight increase from 4 mAh to 523 mAh in the case.

The second-generation AirPods Pro deliver an additional hour and a half (6 hours) of endurance with the noise cancellation enabled, compared to the first-generation 4.5 hours on a single charge. Along with the charging case, the new AirPods Pro are advertised to last a total of 30 hours with noise cancellation activated. Along with the larger batteries in the Pods, the H2 chip and skin detection sensors help with the battery efficiency of the new model.
