Sometimes it’s the regulatory filings that tell you the really good stuff about a new product.
According to a series of regulatory filings, the longer battery life of the AirPods Pro 2 batteries can be attributed to physically larger batteries.
Compared to the first-generation AirPods Pro, Apple says that the second-generation model features an additional 1.5 hours of battery life with Active Noise Cancellation enabled for a total of six hours. Listings on the 3C database spotted by MySmartPrice reveal that the AirPods Pro 2 earbuds feature a battery capacity of 49.7mAh. This is an increase of 15 percent over the 43.24mAh capacity of the first-generation AirPods Pro.
The new batteries offer a capacity of 523mAh, an increase of just 4mAh over the previous model. Per Apple, the second-generation AirPods Pro’s MagSafe Charging Case provides an additional six hours of battery life for a total of 30 hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation enabled.
The new AirPod Pro units also feature the H2 chips and skin-detect sensors, which also help to prolong battery life thanks to better efficiency.
