An international research team led by The University of Texas at Austin has explored the degradation of battery life in wireless earbuds.
The researchers found that the interaction between critical components in the device and the battery created a challenging microenvironment, leading to a temperature gradient that damaged the battery.
Exposure to different temperatures and changing environmental factors further contributed to battery degradation.
The study highlights the importance of considering how batteries fit into real-world devices and adjusting them for different usage patterns and user behaviors.
