Hello, I'm enjoying the APM immensely. I'm trying to figure out what kind of charging routine I should be using with them to prolong the life of the battery. Is there a certain percentage I should start a recharge? Does the APM charging cycle have some long term battery preserving life routine that my Apple iPhone seems to have?

Just wondering, as I've been using the heck out for them, and don't want to short change the potential overall battery life.
 
I would just charge them as you need it. The AirPods Max don't pull nearly as much juice as an iPhone, so it should last as long as you need it to last.

I think the general rule with batteries like these is to charge them before they get under 20%, and then stop at 80%, to maximize battery health.

Having said that, it's not worth it for me, I just charge them whenever I have cord nearby. I think I'll get an upgraded pair before the battery is shot (so maybe in like 5-7 years?).
