How to Check the Battery Percentage of Power Case?
how to see wireless earbuds battery if it uses a power case? Most people want to enjoy a truly wireless life. So they prefer using truly wireless earbuds instead of neckbands. By the methods I have explained above, you can check the real-time battery level of your neckbands or earbuds. But what about the charging case?
Charging cases come with LEDs, generally, 3 or 4 LEDs are there. More number of LEDs glowing means more battery level. To know the remaining battery of the power case, you can refer to the number of LEDs glowing after you press the button provided somewhere on the charging case.
2 LEDs are glowing in this picture.
Here’s a simple calculation for boAt Airdopes 441 Pro which I personally use:
If all 4 LEDs glow: the battery percentage is somewhere between 75 to 100%.
If 3 LEDs glow: the battery percentage is somewhere between 50 to 74%.
If 2 LEDs glow: the battery percentage is somewhere between 25 to 49%.
If only 1 LED glow: the battery percentage is somewhere between 1 to 24%. You need to plug in the charger as soon as possible.
Nowadays, few brands in India are offering innovative charging cases with digital display of battery level, and it looks like this:
