Back in early December, we learned that the Buds 4 would have a battery capacity of 42mAh, while the Buds 4 Pro would come with a 57mAh battery. At the time, the words “typical capacity” appeared next to these numbers, leading us to believe these were the typical battery sizes for both models. However, a recent update reveals these are the rated capacities, rather than the typical capacities. It turns out that the typical capacity for the Buds 4 is 45mAh, while we can expect a 61mAh capacity for the Buds 4 Pro.
