Recent experiences with AirPods AppleCare+ battery replacement? (lemm.ee)

My 2 years of AppleCare+ are almost up for my AirPods Pro. It’s hard to tell whether my batteries have degraded significantly, but I’ve gotta imagine 2 years of use would take their toll, and frankly I’d like to get my money’s worth on the warranty. There are many reports on Reddit of people getting a no-questions-asked replacement for this reason, but a few people said Apple now does some sort of diagnostic. I couldn’t find any super recent feedback, though, and it’s unclear whether the diagnostic is checking for battery capacity or simply charging capability. Has anyone gone through this process recently?

You mean battery health? I know the data can be pulled from an iPad by using their online diagnostic tools despite not being user accessible. I imagine they have the same for AirPods as they have to be able to get that data so not sure about that. If they can’t, then how do they test faulty batteries or other issues?

Regardless, let us know how it goes.
