AirPod 3 charging

I have a MagSafe wireless charger that I just received. It charges my iPhone 14 fine but it will not charge or even recognize my 3rd Generation AirPods. My AirPods charge with the lightning cable perfectly but I need help. I’m wondering if I just have a defective charger. My phone charges when I put it on where the AirPods are designated to go so idk. Help

Oh wow. I just realized it’s the lightning charger case version. I read that the 3rd generation came stock with MagSafe charging capability. I have now realized that is wrong. Thank you Johnathan. I really appreciate it.
