1 battery most likely has more wear than the other. If you use 1 more than the other then there will be a mismatch in battery recharge cycles, more wear on 1 bud. How old are they? How often do you use them? Do you use the R bud more? Answer from Correct_Employ_7022 on reddit.com

Galaxy buds2 battery drain on left bud - Samsung Community
October 4, 2025 - I left the left one in the case to charge to 100%, the right one was at 60%, after using them for about 30 minutes, the left one already died and the right one went down to 50%. I also noticed the battery drain is incredibly fast in lower percentages (only on the left one), it goes from ~15% to 2% in about 3 minutes.

r/galaxybuds on Reddit: Battery draining stupidly fast out of absolutely nowhere
October 15, 2023 -

I feel crazy. I purchased my Galaxy Buds 2 less than three years ago, Feb 2021 I believe. Everything's been absolutely perfect until literally... four days ago? I couldn't tell you exactly how long a full charge would hold before this, but I know it was a considerable amount of time. I've never experienced my buds draining on me while actively using them, no matter for how many hours. Yet as I'm typing this post, they're on 15% after I put them on at 100% less than three hours ago. This has started happening about four days ago, out of nowhere.

My software updates are up to date, so that isn't the issue. Thoughts? Advice?

Answer (1 of 2): The battery. The battery on the one is weaker than the other. Batteries are like that, they are not 100% the same. Some are better than others from the same batch and some are worse.

r/galaxybuds on Reddit: Galaxy Buds 2 earbuds battery draining while in the case
June 14, 2022 -

I got my Buds2 back in August of 2022. Then during October/November I began to notice my earbuds' battery draining down to 90%, sometimes even as low as 83% while in the case despite the charging indicator inside the case showing me a green light. It's not until I pick up an earbud and place it back in does it show up as red. I often have to do this for both earbuds to charge back up to 100% but then after a while of not using them, they drop back down to the values I showed earlier. I am not at all sure whether it's a defect or a software issue and I sure as hell take good care of my earbuds so I don't think I even damaged them accidentally.

Has this happened to anyone before?

I've tried resetting, unpairing them, giving them a full battery cycle...nothing worked despite them working fine the first few months I got them!

February 6, 2021 - I still drained battery of the case and buds once to be sure and registered a complaint in Samsung members, following which they asked me to reset them once. Didn't do it though because it got back to normal after a bit. ... How long does the battery last? I have the Buds 2 Pro and only used them with all the features on besides ANC or Ambient mode (so touch controls and voice detection) and it was like barely 4 hours of battery.
