Can AirPods 6 charge on a flat charger?

I have a belkin combo charger for iphone, watch and earbuds. Airpods 6 do not charge on pad. Are these cases able to charge wirelessly?

Your AirPod 3s should charge on that MagSafe charger, too. You may want to contact Apple Support or contact the Genius Bar to let then run diagnostics.

Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

The MagSafe Charging Case works wirelessly with MagSafe charger and Qi-certified chargers or with the Lightning connector.

Please check again as to which AirPods you have. There are no AirPods 6.

However, if you have AirPods 4 or AirPods Pro, they can charge wirelessly. Let us know which model you have then we can provide a definite answer.

Sorry, they are Airpod 3. For the record, my husband has AirPods Pro and that case charges on the pad
