Charging guidance
The manual gives up to 40 minutes for the earbuds. An empty case takes 2.5 hours by cable and 3.5 hours wirelessly. Case input is 5 V 1 A. The case stops charging the earbuds when its battery drops below 20 percent. Dry the earbuds and the USB-C port before charging.1Owner's manualsalesforce-knowledge-download.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/000021411/en_US/000021411.pdfRead 20 October 2026
The guide estimates up to 60 minutes for earbuds and three hours for the charging case with earbuds by USB-C, or four hours wirelessly. The FAQ separately estimates about 50 minutes for earbuds, two hours for an empty case by cable, 2.5 hours with earbuds, and 3.5 hours for an empty case wirelessly. These are maker estimates with different component scopes and unspecified test details. Input is 5 V 0.8 A. Dry the earbuds and USB-C port before charging. Ten minutes of earbud charging in the case claims up to five hours of playback, with ANC, codec and Dolby settings unspecified. The FAQ also claims four hours with Dual Connections plus LDAC/Dolby Sound, without specifying ANC or resolving the slash conditions.3Owner's manualsalesforce-knowledge-download.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/000025116/en_US/000025116.pdfRead 8 October 2026Guide input is 5 V 0.8 A. Its separate applicable Anker A2337 adapter example is rated up to 30 W and does not establish device charging wattage or a supplied adapter.
