The lifespan of Apple AirPods batteries varies by model, with some lasting longer than others. The AirPods 5 have a battery life of up to 4 hours on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation turned on, while the AirPods Pro 3 can last up to 8 hours.
The total battery life of the AirPods 5 is up to 20 hours with the charging case, whereas the AirPods Pro 3 have a total battery life of up to 24 hours with the case. This makes the AirPods Pro 3 a better choice for extended use, such as long conference calls or transatlantic flights.
In addition to the AirPods 5 and AirPods Pro 3, the AirPods Max 2 headphones have a battery life of up to 20 hours on a single charge. It's worth noting that AirPods 4 and newer models do not come with a charging cable, so users will need to provide their own.
To extend the battery life of their AirPods, users can put the earbuds in the case for 5 minutes to get an extra hour of battery life. The AirPods case can be recharged by plugging it into a wired charger, either USB-C or Lightning, and some models have a wireless charging case that works with MagSafe or Qi chargers.

By understanding how long their AirPods can last and taking steps to extend their lifespan, users can get the most out of their devices. With proper care, AirPods can last for years, making them a worthwhile investment for those who use them frequently.
## What happens next As Apple continues to release new models of AirPods, it's likely that battery life will remain an important factor in their design. By choosing the right model for their needs and taking steps to extend their battery life, users can enjoy their AirPods for years to come.
