Why doesn't AirPods stop wireless charging when it reaches 100% charge?

Hello! I bought airpods v3 and wanted to use them with qi wireless charging. But I noticed one unpleasant feature. When the airpods reach 100% charge, wireless charging does not stop the current supply (at the level of 1 watt), which causes the headphones to constantly heat up. I tested this on two wireless chargers: Satechi 2 in 1 and HyperX ChargePlay. Since I leave my devices to charge overnight, and the headphones on the wireless pad can spend a longer time, how much does it harm them? After all, when I removed the airpods from wireless charging, they were warm. Share your experience.

Hello baxenko,

You can find helpful information about charging and may want to look into using the optimized charging feature for your AirPods Pro. The article here will help get you started: Charge your AirPods and learn about battery life

You can also ensure you're charging correctly with the guide steps here: Qi-certified wireless chargers for iPhone and view details about the lithium-ion battery here: Batteries - Why Lithium-ion? which mentions "Your Apple lithium-ion battery uses fast charging to quickly reach 80% of its capacity, then switches to slower trickle charging. The amount of time it takes to reach that first 80% will vary depending on your settings and which device you’re charging."

Additionally, the Satechi 2 in 1 is not licensed based on the information found from the website link in the "View a list of Qi-certified chargers." section here: How to wirelessly charge your iPhone

Best.
