Apple pencil 1 not charging

I haven’t used my pencil for a while and now it does not want to charge. I tried both way, through the iPad and through the charger but neither seems to work. Before everything was fine with the pencil, I did not have any issues. What could be the problem?

Hello,


If Apple Pencil’s battery sits depleted for an extended amount of time then it will essentially ruin the battery preventing it from ever holding a charge which makes the Apple Pencil useless. Apple Pencil has a 1 year warranty (when purchased from Apple) which means that Apple will most likely replace it if the battery has failed.


Please refer to the following Apple Support document on how to troubleshoot Apple Pencil.
