Status light indicator lights when initially placed on a charging pad and goes off shortly after.

The indicator on the wireless charging case lit up initially upon placing on charging mat.

After a few seconds it the indicator light goes off.

From what i read, indicator light should always indicate the status.

How do i know that it is still charging.


There have been an instance when i place it on a 5Watt qi charger and indicator lights up and goes off 2-3secs.

I came to check on the battery an hour later and the battery level remains the same.


The same behaviour is seen on the status indicator of other qi chargers of 10Watts and it continue to charge when the status indicator goes off after a few seconds.

iPhone XS, iOS 12

Hello Lalaboi91,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


I understand from your post that the indicator light is not staying lit when you charging your iPhone and Smart Battery Case. The following article has information about charging your iPhone and Smart Battery Case which you may find helpful:

I meant the status indicator on the airpod case with wireless charging.

The light stays lid when charged with a lightning cable.

The light goes off when charging wirelessly.

I have a few qi charging pads and all have the same behaviour.

I came back few hours later to find that the airpods and the case was not sufficiently charged.

This only happen on 1 particular pad. The rest of the pads still continue to charge even without the status light on.
