Apple’s AirPods are a useful device at least when you’re not too busy trying to track them after getting lost. However, because of their relatively short battery life, you need to make sure to charge the AirPods.
Unlike some devices, you can’t charge the earbuds directly. Instead, you’ll charge the carrying case. Then, when you place your AirPods into their carrying case and close it, power will be transferred from the case to the earbuds.
How to charge AirPods with a wireless charging case
- If you have a wireless charging case, you’ll charge it by placing it on a Qi-compatible charging mat.
- Once the case is charged, you can place your AirPods inside and let them charge up.
- You can use your Apple devices’ Bluetooth to keep tabs on the battery life for your case and AirPods, or even estimate their charge using the LED light on the case if you don’t have a paired device with you.
