The One AirPods Hack Apple Employees Say Makes Your Battery Last SO Much Longer

AirPods users took to Reddit to complain about a common problem they were noticing: their AirPods seemed to be experiencing a battery drain of as much as 4 percent per hour when they were in their charging cases.

Luckily, there’s a simple solution for this battery issue, according to Cool Material: “While it’s not a 100% fix for the mystery battery drain, a simple reset usually does the trick.”

Resetting your AirPods is also a piece of cake, according to Tech Radar:

Step 1. Make sure your AirPods and AirPod Charging Case have a charge

Step 2. Open the case, then press and hold the small button on the back of the case

Step 3. Pair it with a new Apple device by holding them close together or pair via Bluetooth

Step 4 (this one is optional). Change the name of the AirPods

If you’re still experiencing a faster battery drainage than you’d like, another quick hack is to use one AirPod at a time to conserve battery. Your AirPods deliver excellent sound quality and you might just be able to get by using one at a time.
