AirPods Battery Replacement Cost in Australia

Apple Australia charges between $85 and $129 for AirPods battery service out of warranty, from $85 on the AirPods Pro 3 to $129 on the AirPods Max 2. With AppleCare+ the same repair costs $0. These are Apple's published estimates for 13 models in Apple's AirPods range, effective 8 August 2026, in AUD and excluding taxes.

  • 13 models
  • From $85
  • Up to $129
  • AppleCare+ from $0

AirPods batteries are not user-replaceable and no third-party cell is fitted: Apple services the unit itself, so the estimate is a complete service price with only tax added on top. The in-ear models share one price across every generation; AirPods Max, being over-ear with a much larger cell, costs more. Note that the fee covers the earbuds — a charging case whose own battery has failed is handled under the case replacement price instead. With AppleCare+ active, battery service carries no charge once maximum capacity has fallen below 80%.
