Meta’s AI glasses have different battery and charging specs depending on the model, but they all assume you’ll recharge with the included case.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Ray‑Ban Meta (Gen 1 and most “classic” AI glasses)
- Runtime (glasses): Up to about 4 hours of moderate mixed use, around 3 hours if you’re doing continuous audio plus voice assistant.[4]
- Case capacity: A fully charged case can recharge the frames about 8 times.[4]
- Charge speed (glasses): About 75 minutes for 0–100% in the case; roughly 50% in about 22 minutes (quick top‑up).[4]
- Case charging: Case recharges over USB‑C in about 3.5 hours.[4]
Ray‑Ban Meta Gen 2
- Runtime (glasses): Up to about 8 hours of “typical” non‑constant use, roughly double Gen 1.[2][3]
- Case capacity: Case can provide up to about 48 additional hours of use (multiple full recharges of the glasses).[3][8][2]
- Charge speed: Fast charge to about 50% in 20 minutes in the case.[2][3]
Ray‑Ban Display (AI glasses with lens display and neural band)
- Runtime (glasses): Battery is around 248 mAh, with up to about 6 hours of mixed use claimed.[6]
- Neural band: Separate 134 mAh band battery, up to about 18 hours claimed.[6]
- Case capacity: Case can provide up to about 24 additional hours of runtime.[6]
- Charging: Case charges via USB‑C; neural band uses a proprietary cable.[6]
Oakley Meta (sports‑oriented variants)
- Runtime (glasses): Typical‑use claims are around 8–9 hours, with up to about 19 hours on standby depending on model.[5][7][3]
- Case capacity: Case can add roughly 36–48 hours of extra usage, again varying by specific model.[3][5]
Practical notes
- “Typical use” = intermittent music, calls, and occasional photos/AI requests; continuous music or video recording will cut those numbers significantly.[1][5][4][6]
- Cold weather and heavy camera/AI use noticeably reduce runtime; many users treat the case like an AirPods case and dock the glasses whenever they’re not on their face.[9][10][5][6]
