What should I do if the soundcore P42i battery life is shorter than expected?
If your battery isn't lasting as long as expected, a few settings may be contributing to the faster drain.
The earbuds offer about 8.5 hours of playtime in Noise Cancelling mode (at 50% volume) and 12 hours in Normal mode. Please ensure they are fully charged before use.
Enabling LDAC provides high-quality audio but naturally consumes more power. With both ANC and LDAC on, the playtime is around 6 hours.
It is normal for battery capacity to slightly degrade over time and with frequent use, which will gradually reduce the overall battery life.
