They're brand new. So, I plugged my airpods in around 2:30 p. today. The white light is still blinking slowly. It's been like 4 hrs they been charging? Shouldn't they've already fully charged up? Much obliged for any insight.

I would pair the Airpods with your iPhone and then check the battery status on the iPhone to see what they are registered at.

Here is other Airpod charging information on the Airpods.

Normally the light is orange while they are charging, then it turns green when they are fully charged, however the flashing white light means that they haven’t been paired with a device and is probably overriding the charge state indicator lights. But it shouldn’t take more than an hour to charge from 0-100.

Thank you to both of you. They charged up, I just had to take them out of the case. Once I did that, the light turned green and it's staying green. They working fine now! Anyway, may you both had a grand weekend and thanx for your response and help! -KT

They charge super quick.

Tip: When you get the audio tone prompt of one Airpod hitting 20% battery, charge it for 10-15 minutes whilst using the other one, then rotate them. In 20-30 minutes, both should be near full again. :D
