Chances are, if you’ve been using your AirPods for a while, you’ve noticed that one AirPod always turns off before the otherit is normal, since it would be almost impossible for both to do it at the same time, since it depends on the type of sound you hear, because it does not sound the same for both.
However, if it always happens with the same side, and on top of that quite clearly, that is, many minutes before or the other still has a high percentage left when it happens, this is due to a specific problem, so let’s see why it happens and what we should do to calibrate it.
Why an AirPod has more battery
The reasons may be several. It is clear that a factory defect, and one battery having a worse condition than another, is a normal thing that can happen. In this case, and having warrantyYou just have to take them to an Apple Store and they will check them there and possibly change them if the fault is clear.
However, this usually happens to us after a few months or years, since at first both last practically the same, but there comes a day where one of them turns off and the other still has 15% left, something quite annoying, as it forces you , in a way, to put them on charge, when one of them would not need it.
In most cases this is due to using one of them for a longer time. Many people, on occasions where they do not want to stop listening to their surroundings, only use one headset, and out of habit or chance, they always take the same one. This would degrade the battery of this one more than the other. Furthermore, since it always reaches 0% while the other continues at 15%, charging both with these percentages will also make the one that did not have any battery suffer more, since as they always say, it is not good to let it reach to run out, so the difference will become greater and greater, and the one with the least battery will continue to increase the gap.
The only possible solution will be use the other earphone for a long period of timetrying to compensate for the wear and tear that we did to his companion during all this time, and the next time we have new AirPods, try to balance the use of them, since each one has its own battery, and if you use one a lot, it will obviously lose life and will degrade before the other, so when using both at the same time, it will last less.
The option of Changing the battery of one of the AirPods is very expensiveso it would not be profitable, and possibly you would be in the opposite case, since the other headset will also already have a degradation, and now it would be the one that turns off first, so there is no possible solution, except to take care, so more equitable, the new ones, or try to equalize them using the opposite for a long period of time.
