As an AirPods owner, I’ve been amazed by how quickly they charge. I find myself wondering why they charge so fast, and I decided to do some research to find out. In this blog post, I’m going to share what I’ve learned about why AirPods charge so quickly and some other solutions that can help you get the most out of your AirPods charging experience.
AirPods and AirPods Pro take 20 minutes to fully charge. If your AirPods are taking less than 20 minutes to fully charge, they might not actually be charging fully, the battery might be faulty or it could be because the battery has deteriorated slightly as a result of being used a lot.
Quick tips:
- AirPods and AirPods Pro take 20 minutes to charge fully.
- The battery in AirPods is a small battery meaning that it does not require much power to get them to a full charge.
- AirPods do not feature fast charging, but charging them for 5 minutes gives 1 hour of listening time.
- If your AirPods are charging faster than 20 minutes, it might be the case that they are not actually charging fully, the battery might have deteriorated over time or the battery might be faulty.
- To see how much charge is in your AirPods, you can open the case, with the AirPods inside the case, near an iPhone or iPad.
