PodSwap seem to have worked it out.

I'm curious how they did it. Is there a video out there on how that's possible?

How? This seems only for people with good batteries that want to upgrade. There's no new pods with good batteries being added if it's just swapping.

You don't need a good battery to swap. The point of the service is to swap yours with poor battery life. They send you a refurb from a previous customer, replace the battery in yours, and then send that to a future customer.

No? The "Here's How it Works" section specifically implies they're replacing the batteries.

There's no upgrade. You swap your Airpods for another set that has had the battery replaced.
