  • Go to iCloud.com/find.
  • Sign in with your Apple ID.

How long will the charge last on my Airpods if I lose them so that I’ll be able to then find them?

Be sure the AirPods are always in their case and the case is connected to a power source to make sure there’s always a good charge to be able to then later locate them if lost.

If the Airpods are out of the case, depending on which generation of AirPods you have and depending on how long they were in the case prior for charging purposes, the AirPods will have 3-6 hours of charging time.  You can read more about what to expect with each model’s battery life here.
