AirPods Max battery life and quick charge You can still charge the AirPods Max via the cable when you're using the Smart Case, as the Lightning port on the bottom is still exposed, but the case itself holds no charge at all.Īdditionally, when you place the AirPods Max in the Smart Case, it will activate an ultra‑low‑power state that is meant to conserve battery life.
Unlike the AirPods and AirPods Pro, the case included with the AirPods Max - known as the Smart Case - will not charge your AirPods max at all.
