Check Your AirPods Battery Life
If your AirPods aren’t working, it might be because of a battery problem. Some of us just forget to charge them every now and then, and they might not work when we need them the most.
Luckily, there are a few ways to check your AirPods battery. If you don’t have your iPhone with you, you can press the button on the back of your AirPods’ charging case.
Granted, this isn’t a completely accurate measurement, and it’ll only tell you how much battery your charging case has left, but if the light is red or you don’t see a light at all, it means your charging case has little to no battery. And chances are your AirPods are the same.
A better way to keep track of your AirPods battery is to use the Battery widget on your iPhone. This widget shows your AirPods battery level, and will also show you the battery left in your charging case and even your Apple Watch. You can add this widget to your Lock Screen, Home Screen or the Today View.
However, the quickest way to know your AirPods battery is simply to put them back into its case and close it. Then, open the charging case and place it near your iPhone. Your iPhone will display a small screen with the current battery percentage of both your AirPods and your charging case.
