This is some nerdy deliciousness. The highlight is this graph, which shows what’s really going on.
The four takeaways, for folks who hate nerdy graphs:
- The AirPods “boost” charge for the first 3.5 minutes
- Pods take 30 mins to completely charge, Case takes 2 hours
- The case waits to charge until the Pods hit 20%
- Pods+Case never draw more than 2.5 watts total
Note that this was done using a 5 watt brick and a standard Apple cable on a non-wireless case.
