How to charge AI glasses
Ray-Ban Meta glasses come with a charging case. Your glasses charge while docked in the case, and you can charge your case using a USB-C cable.
Charge your glasses
The first time you charge your glasses you will need to remove the protective plastic tab from the metal charging connections on the case.
To charge your glasses:
-
Place your glasses in the charging case with the nose bridge of the glasses connected to the charging port.
- Note: This is the only way to charge the glasses.
-
You'll know your glasses are charging when the case LED blinks after you've docked the glasses and closed the case.
- If your glasses are turned on and paired with the Meta AI mobile app, you can check the charging status in the app.
Charge your case
To charge your case:
- Connect the case to a power adapter using a USB-C cable by plugging it into the bottom of the charging case.
- Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
Charging cable requirements
- USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to USB-A (compliant with USB-C Standard)
- Any generation of USB should be compatible
- At least 1.2A current rated (lower current rated cables still work but at slower charge speeds)
Power adapter requirements
- USB-C or USB-A compliant power adapters
- 5W or greater (lower wattage power adapters likely still compatible but charge times could be slower)
- USB-PD (Power Delivery) not a requirement
Check the charge level of your glasses and case
Your glasses and case each have a battery that requires charging. You can check the charge level of your devices using the Meta AI mobile app or your charging case.
From the Meta AI mobile app
- When your glasses are connected to the Meta AI mobile app, you'll be able to see the charge status of your glasses in the
Devices tab.

The charging case has an LED on the front that shows the charge level of your glasses and case.

Charging safety
For safety information on charging your Ray-Ban Meta glasses please refer to the Safety & Warranty Guide.
Note: Do not store non-Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses inside the charging case to avoid damage to both the glasses and the case.
Troubleshoot red blinking light (charging error) and power issues
There are a few reasons why you may be receiving a charging error:
- Liquid detected: Liquid is interfering with the charging interface between the nose bridge of your glasses and the charging case. Wipe the charging contacts clean on both devices and try again.
- High temperature: The charging case has reached a temperature that is too high to charge your glasses. Move your case into a cooler location.
- Incompatible charger: Case cannot charge due to the charging cord or power adapter being used. Try using a different cable or power adapter based on the recommendations in the Charging your case section of this article.
Your glasses may not be powering on due to not being able to charge when docked. Dried sweat, dirt, and liquid can all cause interference between the nose bridge of your glasses and the charging case.
Thoroughly clean both devices, then try to charge again. Learn more about cleaning your AI glasses.
Troubleshoot case charging issues
While most USB-C cables should work, some power adapters might not be compatible with the case. If you're using one of these incompatible power adapters, you might see:
- A persistent pulsing orange or green pattern on charging case LED.
- Missing charging icon in the Meta AI mobile app.
If you have issues charging your case, try connecting a different USB-C cable. If the case is still not charging, try using a different power adapter. The following replacement accessories are available for purchase in the Meta Store:
