AirPods Not Charging? Here’s What to Do Before You Panic
Is your AirPods not charging properly? One or both sides refusing to power up? Whether it’s a problem with the AirPods case, charging cable or battery, this is one of the most common frustrations AirPods users face and you’re not alone.
At SPR – Smartphone Repair, we help fix AirPods daily. But before you visit us, let’s explore the top reasons why your AirPods won’t charge and what you can try at home first.

Why Won’t My AirPods Charge?
Here are the most common causes behind AirPods charging problems:
1. Dirty Charging Contacts
Dust, pocket lint, or debris can build up inside the case or on the metal tips of your AirPods, preventing proper contact.
What You Can Try:
Gently clean the inside of the case and the ends of the AirPods using a dry toothbrush or lint-free cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning sprays.
2. Faulty Charging Cable or Adapter
Sometimes the issue isn’t with the AirPods at all; it’s a damaged Lightning cable or weak adapter.
What You Can Try:
Switch to another Apple-certified Lightning cable and charger to rule out accessory issues. Avoid cheap third-party cables.
3. AirPods Case Not Charging
If your AirPods case is not charging, your AirPods can’t either.
What You Can Try:
Plug the case in for at least 15 minutes.
Open the lid and check for a charging light.
If there’s no light at all, the case battery may be faulty or dead.
4. Software or Firmware Glitch
Your AirPods might not charge due to a firmware bug or connection issue.
What You Can Try:
Connect AirPods to your iPhone or iPad.
Make sure your iOS is up to date.
Reset your AirPods by holding the setup button for 15 seconds until the light flashes amber, then white.
5. Battery Degradation
AirPods contain small lithium-ion batteries that naturally degrade after 2–3 years of regular use. If they’ve been heavily used, the battery might not hold a charge anymore.
What You Can Try:
Battery replacement is the most effective solution and SPR offers affordable AirPods battery replacement on the spot.
