Average life of AirPods?
I just checked and I have first gen AirPods, I think I got them in 2018/2019. They don't hold a charge more than 45 minutes, is this normal? Is the life 3 years?

Hi, leilapix, and welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're experiencing less battery life than expected with your AirPods. We'll be glad to help out with that.
While there isn't a specific time limit on how long the battery should last overall, the batteries may be consumed after around 3 years. This is normal for batteries, and more information on this can be found here: Why Lithium-ion?
For a solution to this, you can have the batteries replaced in your AirPods. For more information on this service and setting it up, check out this article: AirPods Service and Repair
