➕ Check AirPods battery life when not connected to any device
To check the battery status on the AirPods case, you scan through the status light on the charging case cover. The status light will be on the front of the case for the wireless charging case and in between the two earphones inside the case for the wired charging case.
When you put the headset inside and open the charging case cover, the light will show the headset's battery status and vice versa. When you open the charging case cover without the headset, the light will show the battery status of the charging case.
The status light is only green and yellow. If the LED is green, the battery of the AirPods is more than 50%. The headset's battery is less than 50% if the light is yellow.

You activate Siri by saying "Hey Siri" aloud, then telling the command: "How much battery life is left on my AirPods?" or "Hey Siri, AirPods Battery Life." Please wait a moment; Siri will read it aloud or show you specifics about your AirPods' battery life on the screen.
