AirPods can check the battery health. There are two ways to check AirPods battery life through widgets. Slide directly from the home screen or lock screen and add widgets directly to the home screen to understand the battery life of AirPods. Slide the home screen to the right or lock the screen to see today's view.
Battery health is the theoretical value of the maximum capacity of the battery. The battery will wear out after a period of normal use, and health is the maximum available capacity after deducting the loss value. If it is a new earphone, the battery loss will be below 5%, which is normal after long-term use, that is, 30%. If it exceeds this value, it will affect the battery life. At this time, it is necessary to consider replacing the battery.
Methods to prolong the service life of AirPods battery;
1, AirPods are put into the charging box when not in use. To form a good habit, AirPods should be put back in the charging box when not in use. Don't put AirPods in your pocket or desk. Make sure that the Bluetooth headset is fully charged at any time to prevent the Bluetooth headset from continuously consuming power, which will lead to a rapid decline in battery health. Putting AirPods in the charging box can not only prevent headphones from being lost and damaged, but also extend the battery life of AirPods.
2. Reduce the repeated opening and closing of AirPods charging box cover. Repeatedly opening and closing the AirPods charging box cover will lead to faster battery consumption. In fact, there is a reason for this. After all, AirPods will send a signal to Apple devices after opening the cover. Continuous switching will lead to power consumption of AirPods and faster battery consumption. It is best to open the charging box only when necessary.
3. Don't wear AirPods single ear for a long time. If you are used to wearing AirPods with only one ear, instead of wearing them at the same time, it will easily lead to faster power consumption in one ear and even poor sound experience in one ear. If you need to work or be safe, you can wear it alternately through the left and right ears of AirPods, which can avoid the obvious difference in power consumption speed between the left and right ears when wearing it later.
4. Avoid high temperature environment. AirPods also uses lithium battery technology, and there will be no battery memory effect. Like the maintenance method of iPhone battery, there is a problem that the weather is cold and the battery is running out. If it is used in a high temperature environment of 35 degrees for a long time, the battery life of AirPods will be shortened and the power consumption rate will be more obvious.
