Hi James, thank you for the article link. Unfortunately, I have tried this countless times before posting my question. When I said that I have to disconnect and reconnect my airpods each time, I meant that I have to reset them each time I want to use them. My process is: 1. I put in my airpods. 2. The right one connects and the left one doesn't. 3. I place both my airpods back in the case. 4. I follow the steps in the article you referenced. 5. Both my airpods connect to my device. My question is: why do I have to go through that process every time I want to use my airpods? Do you know why my left airpod might not be charging?
