How To Fix AirPods Pro 2 Replace Battery Soon Error

Apparently, the Find My app confuses AirPods with AirTags and whenever the battery levels are low a notification is generated to alert the user that the battery has to be replaced.

This is explainable, because AirTags don’t come with re-chargeable batteries.

Fix: Don’t panic. Ignore the notifications, bring the AirPods in their case and connect them to wired charging or the MagSafe charger. Most likely, your wireless earbuds are just fine and this is a software glitch that has to be corrected in an upcoming update!

Fact: The AirPods Pro 2 battery replacement notifications might be generated on connected devices that run older iOS versions, like iOS 15.7 or earlier and macOS 12.6 or earlier.

In these versions the Find My app is not updated with the new AirPods Pro 2, that have been released a couple of weeks ago and that come with Find My integration and precision finding features thanks to the new U1 chip!
