Belkin 3 in 1 model. WIZ017myWH
I’ve noticed that my AirPods Pro 2 are hot after overnight charging on the Belkin 3 in 1 charger, The charging indicator on the Belkin charger never turns off and stays solid throughout the night. I thought there was circuitry wireless charging products to prevent overcharging however it seems either the AirPods Pro 2 or the Belkin charger isn’t doing its job to prevent this. I think this charger has damaged my AirPods Pro 2 twice.
The first time the left ear would no longer have a working noise cancellation and problems with transparency took them to Apple thinking it was just a faulty bud, they tested then and found the left bud faulty so replaced it.
Now 3 months down the line the same thing happened again with weak noise cancellation, thought Apple where up to their tricks of reducing the effect of the noise cancellation but took them to Apple again tested them and both where faulty.
The Apple engineer was puzzled why this has happened twice to me so I explained about the belkin i3 In 1 and he said to stop using it immediately as when the AirPods are fully charged they should turn of the charging circuit and not get hot.
He did say to use a wire or Apple wireless charger only from now on since both buds were changed. He thinks the heat is damaging the buds as they are always hot and to contact belkin.
Also he suggested if it happens again with the apple Charger or wire it might be the Apple case fault but as I told him about the heat he is 99% positive that is the belkin charger as no way should the case and AirPods get hot after a couple hours of charge.
Time will tell if it’s the belkin charger but to be honest after leaving them on for 9 hours and the case is hot when removed tells me there is a fault with the belklin charger as the apple charger does not let the case get hot and turns off.
I would suggest not to use this charger for AirPods I do t seem to have problems with my iPhone and watch as these seem to turn off.
I will be contacting belkin as this sounds like a design flaw.
