http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/08/apple_watch_ss-250x134.jpgA purported photo of a larger 334 mAh lithium-ion battery destined for the Apple Watch 2 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch-2/) has surfaced on Chinese microblogging service Weibo, foreshadowing expected battery life improvements coming to the wrist-worn device.
The battery is allegedly for the 42mm model, which currently has a 246 mAh battery, suggesting the next-generation 42mm model could have a 35.7% larger battery. The photo does **t provide any clues about potential battery life improvements coming to the smaller 38mm model, which is currently equipped with a 205 mAh battery.
The veracity of the photo can**t be confirmed, as is often the case, but KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ming-chi-kuo/) said an Apple Watch 2 with a higher capacity battery will launch later this year (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/07/apple-watch-2-upgraded-first-gen-models-kuo/). The larger battery should unsurprisingly lead to longer battery life for the Apple Watch, which is currently rated for up to 18 hours of mixed usage (http://www.macrumors.com/2015/03/09/apple-watch-battery-life-power-reserve/) and up to 72 hours in Power Reserve mode on a single charge.

The much-rumored Apple Watch 2 is expected to be released in late 2016 (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/07/apple-watch-2-upgraded-first-gen-models-kuo/) with a faster TSMC-built processor, GPS (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/18/apple-watch-2-gps-tracking-this-fall/), barometer, superior waterproofing, and a higher capacity battery -- but ** cellular (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/18/apple-watch-2-gps-tracking-this-fall/). Both 38mm and 42mm screen sizes will be retained with thinner display tech**logy adopted. The device could launch in September alongside the iPhone 7 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-7/) and spec-bumped Apple Watch 1 models (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/08/08/upgraded-apple-watch-1-models-kuo/).
