AirPods are hands-free wireless earbuds designed by apple for their consumers. Ever since AirPods first showed up back in late 2016, you can literally see them, everyone, because, unlike with wired earpieces, it is convenient to use, offers more services and fit snugly in your ears without any dangling attached.
The one difference between this and the previous earpiece by Apple is that AirPods need to be charged. This brings the issue of battery health, how long the battery lasts and other related issues.
Why do my AirPods last only 1 hour?
Over time, the lithium-ion batteries found in most Apple gadgets degrade and make each charge shorter and shorter. In other words, they run out of power more quickly as time goes on.
This is the same with AirPods, with time, the maximum capacity of the batteries inside the AirPods will start to decrease, making your AirPods last shorter and shorter until you can barely get an hour out of it.
Your AirPods may last just 1 hour because your battery may have degraded and your battery health depleted.
