So I decided to give wireless charging a go since the airpods pro came with a wireless charging case. I bought one from amazon (choetech panda) but it seems to charge on and off (like charge for 4 minutes, off for 2minutes then start again) and just wanting to ask if other people are experiencing this or is this an issue? The case does feel a bit warm about body temperature. It does seem to fully charge them eventually though. Wondering if I should keep using it or replace with maybe a more well known brand like anker or belkin maybe?

Two works. Cheotech panda.

Well macrumors did do a giveaway of them a couple years back and reviews on amazon were good so I thought it’d be fine.

There was a recent thread about this issue. Not every charger works. A few compatible models were mentioned in that thread, iirc.

My anker powerwave 7.5 both stand and pad can only charge intermittently. I asked their customer service, they said it's not compatible with airpods pro due to overheating issues. Once the airpods pro is overheating the charge will stop, and it will resume once it cools down. SO my current fix is just leave it as it is, it will be fully charged in few hours anyway. I guess only apple can fix this overheating problem. The cut off temperature of airpods pro is lower than that of iphone, the iphone still holds the charge even its body is quite hot.
