Airpod Pro dieing quickly in sauna?

Just got my airpods for Christmas and I love them! However I've noticed that when I'm in the sauna, they seem to die after only 2 hours of use on a full battery. It usually starts with the left airpod dieing first (the side that's closest to the sauna) followed by the right airpod. When I put them back in the charging case, it shows that they still have around 40% battery. Are my airpods automatically turning off due to the excessive heat? The temperature in the sauna is usually around 145F.


TLDR: Airpods turn off after about 45 mins in 145F sauna, but when I put them back into the charging case they still have 40% battery. Defective pair or just too hot in the sauna to use them?


Thanks!

Batteries in Apple devices (including AirPods and AirPods Pro) are not designed to operate in extreme temperatures like in a sauna. You can permanently damage your devices in those types of environments.
