One Side of My AirPods Not Charging

hello, I just recently bought some new airpods (1st gen.) and a few days after I got them I noticed one side is not charging like the other side. The left side is always on low percentage and I try to charge it in the case but it doesn’t work but the right side charges perfectly fine. Is there a way I can fix this?

I. A Few Links to Visit:


II. 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.
