Hey tipperarysean1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Were you able to complete the steps in the guide you recently reviewed for your AirPods not charging? Here's that link, just in case: If your AirPods won’t charge - Apple Support
It was a great idea to also try with a different cable too. In addition to those steps, did you check the charging port on the Charging Case for dirt or debris as that can cause connection issues. Here's a guide on cleaning your AirPods: How to clean your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and EarPods - Apple Support
Keep us posted.
Take care!
