Hi Iceleviathan,
I’ve had a look into this, and it seems like there’s no software option to turn off charging. You might want to give a data-only USB-C cable a shot to see if your iPhone can still play lossless audio without charging your AirPods. Apple suggests using the USB-C cable that came with your AirPods Max, so I’m not sure if that’ll work!
Warm regards,

After a little research, it doesn't appear that's possible. In order to listen to Lossless on AirPod Max, they need to be plugged into your iPhone. What I would do, is put my iPhone on a Wireless Charger while connecting them to the USB C port on my iPhone for Lossless listening.
