Apple's AirPods are the wireless Bluetooth headset par excellence. Its popularity has led other manufacturers to copy them in design and features, with better or worse results. What they like most about them, aside from having a more than acceptable sound, is that they recharge quickly and have a good autonomy.

A Reddit user named " colinstalter " has been interested in the process of loading the new AirPods. In his tests, he has used the normal charging case, not the wireless, with a 5-watt adapter and a normal cable. For the record of the data and percentages, you have used the Battery Widget.

Sound quality and connection worsens when AirPods are down 20%

After having recharged the headphones several times, "colinstalter" has reached several conclusions :

• The AirPods increase the charging power the first 3.5 minutes to 2.35 watts (0.46A / 5.1V)

• The headphones need 30 minutes to fully charge when they have nothing battery

• The charging case and the battery-free AirPods need two hours to fully recharge

• The charging case waits to charge until the AirPods get a 20% charge

• AirPods and charging case never exceed 2.5 watts when recharging

As discussed by iDownloadBlog, the charging case demands additional power for 3-4 minutes each time the lid is opened. This could be because it enters some mode of low consumption that wakes up when the lid is opened.

The charging case has a capacity of 1,520 mWh, and each handset about 93 mWh, which makes a total of 1,706 mWh. If we have fast charge adapters we can use them with these headphones, however, they will not recharge your battery faster because the case does not get more energy than necessary. Most likely, it has some kind of energy limit.
