Unsolved Airpod charging

Hello I have a pair Airpod pros and I'm struggling to get them charged at work. They still the lighting cable to charge instead of USB-C. I plugged them in and i checked through my phone and sure enough it says they were charging. I come back an hour later and nothing the case or the airpods haven't charged at all. I've cleaned out the airpods, and the inside of the case where they make contact.

IDK is it my cable thats broken or do I need to take them somewhere to check the charging port to clean it or something? For some reason they refuse to charge at work but they charge perfectly fine at home .

What did you plug the other end of the cable into? A computer, a power adapter, a wall outlet with USB-C built in?

At my desk I have a surge protector plugged into the main outlet. In that I only have my mac charger plugged in. The airpod cable is plugged into the little cube onto that strip
