If an AirPod has no battery charge at all, then Apple'southward tracking features and the Discover My network are unlikely to be much help in finding the earbud once again. While Apple is continually improving its ability to observe lost items, it is withal reliant on connecting with those devices. Due to this, in situations where a connection to a device can't exist made, users are likely to encounter problems with retrieving their belongings again.

Over the years, Apple'due south Discover My network and features take grown considerably, resulting in a robust location and tracking solution for all those who have invested in the company'southward hardware products. In April 2021, Apple released its AirTag location tracker buoy. With an AirTag capable of beingness attached to almost annihilation (including the family unit domestic dog), Apple's tracking network can now be used to find many other items — even those that can't connect to the cyberspace.

Lost, stolen, or missing AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max headphones tin can usually easily be tracked through the Find My network. However, when the headphones have run out of battery, the network is unable to make the necessary connexion to permit the user to detect them again. As well situations when the bombardment is fully depleted, users are also probable to struggle locating lost AirPods when they are in their case and charging. The simply fourth dimension an AirPod can be tracked and located is when it is outside of the case and has not already run out of battery charge. Apple improved its AirPods tracking capabilities with AirPods 3, simply even so, a dead battery renders these improvements useless.

Options When Lost AirPod's Battery Is Dead

Every bit a connection cannot be made when AirPods have no battery, the Notice My Network won't be able to meet their current location. AirPods tin can actually be tracked separately, so in situations where both are lost and one however has some charge, then it might be possible to detect both earbuds fifty-fifty when only 1 has whatever battery life. Also, if ane or both had some charge a short time agone, and so it is possible the user will be presented with their last known location. In some cases, this may be enough to find where the lost AirPods currently are. Along with the map, users can also enable a 'Lost Fashion' that provides someone with the owner's contact information if they come across the lost earbuds.

If plenty time passes, yet, these options may also become unavailable. If an AirPod is offline for too long, an 'offline' message appears instead. If that is the instance, and so Apple is unlikely to be able to aid in retrieving the earbuds, forcing the user to rely on more than traditional methods — such every bit physically looking for the earbuds. Unfortunately, in instances where no location data for the AirPods is bachelor, and the user is unable to manually discover them afterwards looking, then the just option is likely to be buying a replacement AirPod or a whole new pair.
