One AirPod won't charge

This is the second pair of AirPods that’s done this. But now instead of taking more than a year or two to stop charging, it’s three months.


I’ve reset. I’ve cleaned. I’ve forgotten the device and reinstalled. I can wiggle them until they charge if I hold the case in a certain way. But then, overnight left side will charge, right side will just drain to zero so when I need to workout. I have half my audio.

  • Remove the AirPod from the Case, then place it back in the charger. Perhaps it need to resync with he charger.
