Hello Venessa2940,
It sounds like you received your AirPods but you have some questions about charging your AirPods.
"You can charge your Wireless Charging Case with a Qi-certified charging mat. Be sure to place your case on the charger with the status light facing up and with the lid closed. The status light should show the current charge level for 8 seconds. If you have AirPods Pro, you can tap the case when it's on the charging mat to see whether your AirPods Pro are charging (amber light) or fully charged (green light).
To charge your case via wired connection, plug the Lightning cable that came with your AirPods into the Lightning connector on your case. You can use a Lightning to USB-C cable or a Lightning to USB cable. Then plug the other end of the cable into a USB charger or port. You can charge your case with or without your AirPods inside. Charging is fastest when you use an iPhone or iPad USB charger or plug into your Mac."
Charge your AirPods and learn about battery life
Cheers!
