This tutorial highlights applications that let you check the battery level of your AirPods on Android phones and Windows PC. We’ll show you how to install and use these apps on your devices.
How to Check AirPods Battery on Android Devices
AirBattery is one of the best apps for checking AirPods battery on Android devices and Chromebooks. You’ll get another prompt to exclude AirBattery from your device’s power saver or battery optimization settings. Allowing the app to run in the background without optimization may cause it to drain your device’s battery more quickly. If AirBattery doesn’t show your AirPods case battery, close and reopen the lid, and check again.
How to Check AirPods Battery Life in Windows
AirPodsDesktop, MagicPods, and Bluetooth Battery Monitor are the best apps to monitor your AirPods battery in Windows.
Check AirPods Battery Using AirPodsDesktop
AirPodsDesktop is free, open-source, and easy to set up. We had no problem using the app to check the battery level and charge status of our Apple AirPods Pro. AirPodsDesktop supports all AirPod models and generations, including the AirPods Max.
Check AirPods Battery Using MagicPods
Although MagicPods is a paid app, it offers features that justify the $1.99 price tag. It supports the following Apple headphones and earbuds:
AirPods 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Generations AirPods Pro AirPods Max Powerbeats Pro Powerbeats 3 Beats Fit Pro Beats Solo 3 Beats Solo Pro Beats X Beats Flex
Buy the MagicPods app or install the free trial from the Microsoft Store and follow the steps below.
Use the Bluetooth Battery Monitor App ($7.99)
Bluetooth Battery Monitor allows you to check the battery level of Bluetooth devices connected to your Windows computer. The app costs $7.99, but you can use the 7-day free trial to test its features. You get a $3 discount if you buy the license before the trial period ends. The app supports the 1st and 2nd Generation AirPods and the AirPods Pro. Follow the steps below to set up and use the Bluetooth Battery Monitor app on your Windows PC. Select the Show hidden icons arrow if you don’t see the app icon on the taskbar. You can set a “Low Battery” alert to get notified when your AirPods battery hits a specified percentage.
Keep an Eye on Your AirPods Battery
Use AirPodsDesktop if you only care about monitoring your AirPods battery level in Windows. But if you’ve got $2 to spare, MagicPods offers great value for money. It supports all AirPods models and provides some audio features exclusive to Apple devices.
