Apple has added a new feature (via MacRumors) on iOS 14 that will slow down how quickly your AirPods’ batteries’ age.
Called Optimized Battery Charging, it will learn when you plug in and out your AirPods and halt the charging automatically when your AirPods reach 80%. When it’s nearly the time you typically unplug them, iOS will resume charging to bring them up to 100%. This will ensure your AirPods don’t sit at a full charge over an extended period of time which is known to be detrimental to electronics’ battery health.
For instance, if you top up your AirPods overnight, iOS will pause charging as soon as the earbuds are at 80% and begin again about an hour before you wake up.
