To charge your AirPod case, all you need to do is plug the wireless charging pad into a wall outlet and then place the case on top of the mat. If you want to charge your AirPods at the same time, just put them in your case while you charge it.

The AirPods should immediately start charging. You can also go ahead with charging the AirPods case without AirPods inside.

If you’re wondering how long to charge your AirPods case, you will need to do exactly the same thing when charging using the lightning cord. Wait until the LED light indicator turns green as this indicates that your AirPods case and the AirPods are fully charged. 

It should take an hour to fully power up your AirPods case with or without the AirPods inside the case because it is okay to leave AirPods in the case when charging. 

If the LED light indicates an amber light this means it is still not fully charged.
