One AirPod not charging

I received my AirPods today and one the right one was at 35% and wouldn't take anymore charge. It eventually went to zero and won't charge. The left one works just fine and charged to 100%.

I had the same issue, and a simple solution fixed the problem for me. I wiped off the metal end of the right AirPod, and then used a Q-tip to clean the bottom of the case where the metal end of the right AirPod made contact with the case. Works great once again and holds charge. Hope this helps! Of course, if the problem persists, getting in contact with someone at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store nearest to you would be advised.

Hi guys. I currently live here in Taiwan and I recently purchased the Apple Airpods. It was working fine for the 1st week then all of a sudden, the right airpod is not charging anymore. I took it to the apple service center, and they said it was working fine. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I have read the suggestions here and it has not helped me with this problem. I live way too far from the city and I cant keep going back to the apple service center and they will just give me the same answer that there is no problem with my airpods. Thanks to those will help.
