Airpods pro 2 charging probelm

My airpods pro 2 are useless because the case isn't charging them. It says 1% but that's not an excuse for it not to charge the airpods. I am away from home and do not have a lightning charger. It should still charge the airpods even when it is low battery. Poor product

At 1% the case can't deliver much power to the AirPods, so it needs a charge first. Any cable on a laptop USB port, a friend's charger or a Qi/MagSafe pad will work. Close the lid and leave it connected for 15-20 minutes, then check the status light. A café or shop will usually let you plug in for a bit.

Troubleshooting AirPods Charge:

They ought to charge, but, being not at home, get a new cable and charger brick that are of higher wattage: 20 Watts is what to get.


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.
