Using the echo buds, you can call upon Alexa to perform specific tasks on your behalf on your device. You can even listen to your favourite music when on the go or in the comfort of your own home while performing other chores. 

The great convenience brought about by echo buds make life so smooth and exciting. It’s against this background that when a problem arises with the echo buds, you become so stressed. One problem that you may encounter with your echo buds entails the failure to charge up. Luckily, the possible causes of this problem have got quick fixes that you can employ to correct the issue. 

To learn more about all the possible causes together with the quick fixes, all you need to do is to check out the following. 

What to do if Echo Buds battery is not charging

• Case is not Properly Plugged into a Wall Outlet: When charging your echo buds, you first place them inside their case and proceed to plug the case into a power outlet. When you plug into the power outlet, there are a few things you need to check to ensure that everything is up to speed. First, you need to ensure that you correctly plugged in the case. Failure to correctly plug in means the power won’t reach the other end. Also, you need to ensure that the plug socket is turned on. Sometimes, you may just plug in the case while the socket is off hence nothing will happen. To ensure that everything is plugged in well, you need to check the lights on the case. 

• Echo Buds not in their Correct Case Positions: The technology behind the echo buds is so advanced that if you misplace the position of one echo bud with another, nothing will work. As such, when placing the echo buds inside the case, always ensure that the right-sided bud is placed on the right-hand side of the case while the left-sided bud is placed on the left-hand side. 

• Echo Buds not Fitted Well in the Charging Case: When placing your echo buds in their charging case, you should not do a hast job. Owing to the technology used in designing the buds, you should always ensure that when placing your echo buds, their sensors line up with the charging points in the case. For those using the first Gen echo buds, the LED light on the charging case should turn green once the sensors line up with the charging points. For those using the 2^nd Gen echo buds, each bud should turn on its LED light once the sensors line up with the charging points. 

• The Wing Tip Isn’t Covering the IR Sensor: Some echo buds come with the wing tip. If you are using such echo buds, then you should ensure that the tip is correctly installed and that it isn’t covering the IR sensor. 

• Echo Buds/Case Too Hot: The echo buds and the case are very sensitive to heat. Once they become too hot either due to proximity to a heat-emitting tool/device or even direct sunlight, they will not charge efficiently. In some cases, they cease to charge at all. Once you feel that the echo buds are hot, just put them in a cool dry area for some time and then proceed to charge them once they are cooled up. At that point, you won’t encounter any charging problems. 

• Echo Buds are not Clean: Just as the echo buds are sensitive to heat, they are also sensitive to dirt. Owing to the fact that they work whilst tucked inside the ear, the probability of them getting dirt from earwax build-up is high. As such, from time to time, always find some time to clean your echo buds to remove any dirt they may get. When cleaning your echo buds, always use a clean dry cloth. 

• Need for a Soft Reset: The charging problem may be caused by firmware issues. Amazon releases new firmware updates for echo buds frequently. This is done to improve the efficiency of the echo buds. Unfortunately, when a new update is released, if you fail to quickly install it, it may cause some unnecessary problems on your device. If this is the case, all you need to do is a quick soft reset. Just place the echo buds correctly in the charging case and leave them for some time such that any possible new updates will automatically install. Once installed, try once again to charge the echo buds.
