I. Introduction
One of the most significant concerns of AirPod users is battery life. While AirPods have impressive battery life, it’s not always easy to know the exact health of your AirPods, including how much charge remains, or how long before they need to be charged. Therefore, it’s essential to understand how to check AirPod battery health. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide on how to achieve this.
II. Step-by-Step Instructions
The first thing one needs to do is to pair the AirPods with an iOS device. After successful pairing, open the ‘Settings’ application and then select ‘Bluetooth.’ Then, click on the ‘i’ icon next to the AirPod’s name. This should provide a screen that shows the battery level of both the charging case and each AirPod.
If your AirPods battery is not showing in your Bluetooth settings, ensure that your AirPods are currently paired with your iPhone and are connected. If the problem persists, reset your AirPods, and this will solve it.
III. Explainer Video
If following step-by-step instructions isn’t your thing, watching a comprehensive explainer video may make things easier. Many videos explain how to check your AirPod battery health. You can find such videos on YouTube. For example, you can search for videos with titles such as ‘How to Check AirPods Battery Life.’
If you have hearing challenges or prefer to read instead, you can search for a video transcript on the same platform. This transcript provides written instructions on how to check AirPod battery health.
IV. Infographic
An infographic is a visual-based guide that can help you quickly evaluate the health of your AirPods. It is often a better approach to understand and process complex information when visualized or presented through graphics. In our case, viewers can see how much battery life remains on their AirPod using an infographic.
You can download an AirPods battery infographic from the internet. This infographic can be printed out and pinned on your desk, making it easy to check your AirPods’ battery level at a glance.
V. App Review
Apps and Tools available on the iOS store offer different features aimed at checking your AirPod battery health. For instance, there are apps that notify you when the AirPod’s battery is low. Other apps display the battery level, just as the iOS device’s Settings App would. Below are four popular apps you can download on the App Store:
- Battery Life: This free app checks the battery level of your AirPods and provides a useful notification center widget that displays your AirPod’s battery level.
- Assistant Trigger: Assistant Trigger displays the battery life of individual AirPods, the casing, and allows you to adjust the Bluetooth settings of connected AirPods quickly.
- Battery HD+: This app checks the battery life of individual AirPods and the charging case. It also provides an estimated battery time remaining.
- Battery Mon: This free app shows the battery level of the AirPods, as well as the battery level percentage of the charging case.
VI. Alternative Ways
Another way to check your AirPod’s battery life if you don’t have an iOS device is by using Siri. Once Siri is enabled, you can double-tap either AirPod or say the command, “Hey Siri,” then ask, “How’s the battery on my AirPods?” Siri should respond with the battery percentage of both AirPods and the charging case.
VII. Optimizing Battery Health
AirPod battery health can be optimized by maintaining the battery well. This means not leaving AirPods or charging cases uncharged and avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures. However, if you’re going to store your AirPods for a long time, keep them charged to at least 50% battery life. Lastly, always charge your AirPods with the given charging cable or dock to ensure that power delivery is consistent and efficient.
VIII. Comparison
The comparison between the integrated battery feature with other options shows that it can be challenging to achieve, specific to Apple products. Using other methods such as Siri, apps, and tools can make it easier to check battery levels. However, these depend on each app’s specificity and may not display the exact battery level affecting each AirPod or the casing.
That said, checking battery life through Siri, apps, and tools serves the same purpose as the official method; it indicates your AirPod’s battery status and helps to optimize battery life.
IX. Conclusion
Checking your AirPod’s battery life is an essential aspect of keeping it functioning well at all times. From step-by-step instruction to apps, tools, infographics, and Siri commands, we provide you with the best ways to keep your AirPod battery health in excellent condition. We also discussed how to optimize battery health and maintain your AirPods for long-lasting durability. We recommend trying these methods yourself and keeping your AirPods in check.
