You’ll see metal contacts when you take off the AirPods and look inside the case. Similarly, you’ll see the metal ring around the AirPods.

When you place your AirPods into the case, a magnetic force will attract, and metal contacts will make the connection.

If the case is dirty, your AirPods won’t connect properly with the battery, and you’ll face charging issues.

Remove AirPods from the case and clean the metal contacts with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol.

The charging issue will be resolved in major cases after cleaning the AirPods charging case.

A low battery on the charging case will create problems in charging AirPods.

So, if you haven’t charged your case for long, first charge it to 100% and then check if AirPods are charging or not.
