How To Check Airpods Battery On Android
Track battery life with iOS Shortcuts
If you want to check your AirPods battery level on Android, you can also do so with the help of iOS Shortcuts. This may sound confusing, but it actually is a very simple process. With iOS Shortcuts, you can create a shortcut to check your AirPods battery level. This way, you’ll be able to see how much battery your AirPods have left just by swiping up from the home screen of your phone.

Monitor the AirPods battery with Apple Watch
If you’re wearing an Apple Watch, you can check the AirPods battery level with the help of a watchOS-integrated app. However, the app is not a default feature, so you’ll have to download it on your watch first. Once you install the app, you just have to go to the Apple Health app on your phone and add the app there. Then, you can open the app on your Apple Watch to see the AirPods battery level. Once again, this app will not be accessible from your Android device. It’s a strictly Apple-oriented solution for checking your AirPods battery level.
Use AirPods Battery Monitor by Double Jump
If you want to track and monitor the battery of your AirPods, you can do so with the help of a dedicated app. The app we recommend for this is called AirPods Battery Monitor by Double Jump. This is a free Android app that lets you monitor the lifetime of your AirPods. You can also see the number of times you’ve charged them and their battery levels. Furthermore, you can even set a reminder to recharge your AirPods and give them a new life. This way, you won’t have to worry about their battery running out. This is one of the handiest apps you can download if you want to monitor your AirPods battery levels.
How To Increase Battery Health Good In Airpods?
Clean AirPods
This is an important step. We advise you to clean your AirPods with a toothbrush. Do not use toothpaste. Also, do not use water. You can also use a small brush for this purpose. For best results, do this every time you’re charging them or when their battery indicator starts to flash red. This will help you get rid of any dust or other debris that might be stuck in their charging port and cause them to drain faster than usual.
Keep your AirPods Clean
If you have issues with the way your AirPods look and feel, it may be because of dirt and dust inside the charging port of your AirPods’ case. To keep the airways clear inside your case, you should regularly clean it using a dry cloth or paper towel to remove dirt and grime from within the case itself as well as outside of it like on the AirPod charging cable itself and on any other connecting surfaces such as those around your phone or computer that may have been in contact with these surfaces at some point in the past.
Use the Charging Case Whenever Possible
If you have an Apple Watch Series 4 with Series 4 Watch Strap, Apple Pencil, or Earpods attached to it, then it can be used as a charging case for both iPhone and iPad if they are placed inside properly (the side with two USB ports). However, if not using these accessories, you can use the iPhone X/8/7/6s charger that came with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. You can also use the Apple Watch Charging Case if you don’t have any of these accessories.
Don’t leave them in a hot car
If you charge your AirPods in a hot car, it can lead to the battery not holding its charge for as long as it normally does. If you intend on charging them when the temperature is high, we recommend that you first remove them from your phone and place them in their charging case to keep them cool inside and out.
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
We do not advise storing your AirPods in extreme temperatures such as those found in a hot car or near heaters as this can cause damage to their internal components and shorten their lifespan (and therefore, their battery life). In addition, please don’t store AirPods near heaters as this will dry out their battery even more quickly than normal. Instead, we recommend storing them inside their charging case whenever possible where they can maintain a much cooler environment while they are charging. If they are left out at room temperature for extended periods of time without being charged, they may begin to lose their ability to hold a charge over time due to low humidity levels inside the case which will then cause the AirPods’ internal components (battery included) to become damaged over time causing early failure of the AirPods.
Don’t use them while charging
Although some people may find themselves forgetting from time to time, we strongly advise that you do not use the AirPods while they are being charged as this can cause damage to their internal components and shorten their lifespan (and therefore, their battery life). Once the AirPods are fully charged, please no longer use them or charge them with your phone or other devices until they have been disconnected from the charger.
Cleaning
Although we highly recommend that you clean your AirPods after each day of use, if you do happen to leave them in a pocket full of pocket lint or other debris, we strongly advise that you clean them before using them again. This can help avoid future issues such as damage to their internal components and reduce battery drain over time. You can clean your AirPods by following the below steps: 1. Remove the charging case from one of your AirPods 2. Put one end of tissue in between the two earbuds 3. Hold one earbud on top of the tissue 4. Use another tissue to wipe inside both earbud openings 5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the other earbud 6. Place one end of tissue in between both earbuds 7. Use another tissue to wipe around inside both earbuds 8. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each AirPod 9 . Place one end of tissue into both charging case openings 10. Use another tissue to wipe around each charging case opening 11. Repeat steps 1-10 for both charging cases 12. Charge your AirPods and then use them as normal
