Introduction
If you own Apple’s popular wireless earbuds, you are likely familiar with the frustrating experience of losing track of the battery life of your AirPods. Fortunately, there are several ways to check if your AirPods are charged. In this article, we will explore various methods for checking the battery level on AirPods so you can avoid the inconvenience of running out of charge in the middle of your favorite tunes.
Using the LED light on the AirPods
One of the easiest ways to determine the battery level of your AirPods is to look at the LED light on the charging case. The LED light is located between the two AirPod slots on the case.
A green LED light means your AirPods are fully charged, while an amber light indicates that there is less than one full charge remaining.
To quickly and easily check if your AirPods are charged using the LED light, simply open the case with the AirPods inside when both the AirPods and the case are not connected to any power source.
Using the Battery widget on your iPhone
Another way to check the battery level of your AirPods is by using the Battery widget on your iPhone.
To access the Battery widget, swipe to the right on your home screen until the Today View appears. Scroll down to find the Batteries widget, which shows the battery level of the AirPods and other devices connected to your iPhone.
If your AirPods are connected to your iPhone, a list will show the battery percentage of each AirPod as well as the charging case.
One useful feature of the Battery widget is that it also shows the battery percentage of your AirPods when they are not in use but are still connected to your iPhone.
Using Siri
If you prefer to use voice commands, you can ask Siri to tell you the battery level of your AirPods.
To do this, simply activate Siri either by saying “Hey Siri” or by pressing and holding the Home or Side button on your iPhone.
Then say “What’s the battery level of my AirPods?” or “How much charge do my AirPods have left?”
Siri will respond with the remaining battery percentage of your AirPods.
Through the charging case
The charging case itself can also provide information about the battery level of your AirPods.
The charging light on the front of the case will indicate whether the AirPods are currently charging or fully charged.
If the charging light is green, it means your AirPods are fully charged. If the light is amber, it means your AirPods are currently charging.
You can check the charging status of your AirPods by placing them in the charging case and opening the lid.
Auto-wake feature
The AirPods feature an auto-wake feature that automatically connect to your iPhone when you put them in your ears and disconnect when you take them out.
To take advantage of this feature, make sure it is turned on in your iPhone’s Bluetooth settings. Then, when you remove your AirPods from the charging case and place them in your ears, they will automatically connect to your iPhone and display the battery level in the Battery widget or through Siri.
Sound feedback
Finally, the AirPods themselves offer sound feedback to inform you of their battery level.
If you hear a low battery alert, it means that your AirPods have less than 20% battery remaining. If you hear a second low battery alert, it means they have less than 10% battery remaining and you should charge them soon.
You can also check the battery level of your AirPods by simply adjusting the volume, as a tone will play indicating their battery status. Similarly, tapping on your AirPods can also provide sound feedback about the current battery level.
Conclusion
With so many ways to check the battery level of your AirPods, you can avoid the frustration of running out of battery life during your favorite tunes. From using the LED light on the charging case to asking Siri, or even paying attention to sound feedback from the AirPods themselves, you now have the knowledge to keep your AirPods charged and ready whenever you need them.
