Been using AirPods for a while, but are you charging your AirPods correctly? Many users today charge their AirPods incorrectly, leading to battery degradation and reduced lifespan. For those who have recently purchased AirPods, it's essential not to overlook proper usage and charging practices. In today's article, Mytour will provide the most detailed instructions on how to charge AirPods. Alongside that, we'll highlight common mistakes to avoid, ensuring prolonged battery life and user safety.

Consequences of improper AirPods charging 

Habits of using and charging AirPods incorrectly can result in battery degradation, reduced lifespan, damage, and even pose risks such as explosions or fires, endangering users. Therefore, understanding how to charge AirPods properly and avoiding common mistakes is crucial to extending the device's lifespan, reducing battery wear, and ensuring user safety.

Indicators for Knowing When to Charge AirPods 

Here's how to recognize when your AirPods are running out of battery and when it's time to charge the device.

Checking AirPod Battery Life on iPhone 

To check the battery life of AirPods on your iPhone, you need to place the earphones in the charging case. Additionally, AirPods must be connected to the iPhone via Bluetooth. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Check if your iPhone is connected to Bluetooth. Swipe down gently from the top right corner of the screen to see the blue Bluetooth icon. Alternatively, go to Settings and turn on Bluetooth.

Step 2: Open the AirPods charging case and bring the device close to the iPhone. The phone screen will display a connection option; press Connect to link the AirPods.

Step 3: After connecting, you'll see the iPhone screen showing the percentage of AirPods battery.

Note: When checking AirPods battery level, the earphones must be in the charging case, and the case should be near the device. After you open the charging case, it may take a few seconds for the screen to display the battery percentage. If the percentage doesn't show, close and reopen the charging case.

Additionally, you can check AirPods battery level on iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, virtual assistant Siri, and more.

Low Battery Alert on Earphones 

AirPods will emit a low battery alert when the battery is running low. And when the battery is completely depleted, there will be a final low battery alert.

Checking Low Battery on AirPods Charging Case

To assess AirPods battery status, you can quickly identify it through the color of the indicator light on the charging case. For wireless charging cases, the status light is on the front face of the case. For wired cases, the status light is between the two earbuds inside the case.

• When there's an earphone in the charging case and the lid is open: the light indicates the earphone battery status.
• When the charging case lid is open but no earphones inside: the light displays the charging case battery status.
• If you see a green status light, it means AirPods are fully charged. If the light is yellow, it indicates AirPods battery is below 80%. 

Using the LED Light on the Case 

By observing the LED light color on the charging case, users can determine the battery level of the AirPods case.

• Green LED light: Indicates full battery when charging. If AirPods are not charging, the battery is above 80%.
• Red LED light: Indicates incomplete battery when charging. If not charging, the battery is below 80%.
• White LED light: AirPods are ready to pair.

Guidelines for Proper AirPods Charging 

Here's how to charge the AirPods case correctly to extend battery life and ensure the device lasts longer. Refer to and apply the following steps:

Step 1: Place the AirPods earphones inside the charging case and close the lid.

Step 2: Charge the AirPods earphone case using a USB Lightning cable, similar to charging an iPhone.

(If your AirPods support wireless charging, you can place the case with the earphones on a wireless charging pad for charging.)

According to information from Apple, the usage duration of AirPods is as follows:

• Approximately 24 hours of listening and 18 hours of talk time with regular earphone charging in the case.
• After each charge, you'll get about 5 hours of listening and 3 hours of talk time.
• With just 15 minutes of charging, you'll have around 3 hours of listening and 2 hours of talk time.

Tips to Prolong AirPods Lifespan

• To charge AirPods properly and extend battery life, use the official Apple charging adapter and cable compatible with AirPods.
• When not in use, keep the earphones inside the charging case. While this may not improve battery capacity, it will increase battery lifespan and reduce the risk of losing the earphones.
• Minimize impact on the AirPods case. Avoid constant opening and closing of the case lid as it may affect the charging functionality.
• Avoid overnight charging of AirPods to prolong battery life. Charging overnight can lead to increased battery wear and potential battery swelling issues.
