AirPods Pro 3 charging slowly for the first time

I just bought an AirPods pro 3. It's too slow to charge for the first time. Is it right?it almost take 10 mins to charge 80%-86% for ear buds not charge case.

For reference...

Troubleshooting AirPods Charge:



How to Fix This:

Try troubleshooting the power manually...


A. A Few Links to Visit:




B. Try the Following Tasks:

  • Hold Down the Button on the case for about 15 seconds.


  • Use an Apple Brand Cable - not a third party one - cool though it may look, a fabric, third-part cable would likely tear - (Apple cable's are plastic and are intended for Apple)


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

Slow Out-of-the-Box Charge:

AirPods Pro 3 wattage only goes to 20 Watts, and no further. So, what's the wattage of your charger? Use on with higher wattage --the higher, the faster it will charge. I'd all so emphases that you go with an Apple brand charger, for more reliability, and trustworthiness.
