AirPods Case not charging

Thanks..

Tried multiple devices and all charged except my AirPods case. Found an Apple cable and switched and it worked perfectly.

Saved a visit to Genius Bar.

Try using an Apple specific wall adapter. This immediately rectified the issue for me.

i had the exact same problem, i started using an apple cable for my airpods instead of a third-party one and it worked.

My AirPods case wouldn't charge even tho I had it plugged in the outlet. I plugged the case in to the computer and bam the case started charging. Answer : try plugging it in to the computer instead of the wall outlet. That's what worked for me.

I had the same issue with my case not getting above 4% before it stopped charging and dropped back down.

After plugging and unplugging, I was able to get a steady charge, but here’s what I did. I left the lid open so I could make sure it kept charging. That took the case and headphones back to 100%.

Not sure if this makes a difference, but I also used a wall charger instead of a USB. Hope this helps.

Holy Cow - I thought " I plugged the case in to the computer and bam the case started charging" seemed pretty random, but I tried it and my case is now charging! Thanks!

Followed suggestions here about plugging it into a PC vs wall charger... wanted to report my weird findings that it seems like my AirPods will charge only when I plug them into my MacBook, but not on my Windows PC. No idea what's going on there as the Windows PC is a desktop and has fully powered USB ports (tried a 2.1 and a 3.0 port). Not sure if I want to go through the hassle of replacement since I found a work around, but still odd.

I had the same problem as you did. I couldn’t get my air pod case to charge through my outlet or my Xbox. So I tried my HP laptop and it started to charge as soon as I plugged it in. Also, I blew in the charging input for the case, just to make sure there was no dust in there. You should try charging your case with your computer.

This is going to sound very weird but the fix is..... plug the case into an Xbox One for 30 mins and it'll will work again for some reason. If that doesn't work plug it into as many random usb ports that would charge it and it will for SOME strange reason fix the "glitch" thats happening.

Use just an apple charger not a third party charger I found that out

I was trying to charge on multiple wall outlets with various official apple cords, but nothing worked. I switched to my laptop as someone mentioned above, and it began charging! It seems that for a decent amount of people, switching the power source from wall to USB or vice versa is working. Hopefully, this isn't a common problem and is a one time issue. Thanks!

So if I had said keep plugging it in that would have better?

I'm glad it started working for you but that may be temporary. If it is use the link I provided in order to have Apple replace it under warranty or make a Genius Bar appointment if one is near.

I'll be happy to not assist you in the future.

Did you sort out the problem? I haven't used my airpods for a couple of months. I wore them the other day, until the point that they went flat. I put the airpods in the charging case and charged them (case was showing at 1% charge). The next morning my airpods were charged at 100%, but the case was showing at 1% and no charging indicator next to it. The light on the case wasn't lit. I tried another cable and left it for 10 hours (initially when I plugged it in it was showing as charging on my phone and the amber light was lit, i saw the charge creep up to 4% and then I left it Charging. After ten hours, the case was showing at 1%, and no light on the case, also no charging indicator on the phone. I am now trying a third cable and will leave it overnight. Can anyone help? Am I doing something wrong?
