How to know whether 1st generation Apple Pencil is charged?

Hello, I have first generation Apple Pencil... I don’t know whether it is charged or not... when I plugged in to my 10.5”IPad Pro, there’s a notification saying that the battery is only 3%. I used my IPad Pro charger and the female connector to charge it. After 20 mins of charging, the notification is still the same, so how do I know whether I charge it properly? Thanks!

Nope sorry. If it was left discharged for an extended period of time the tiny battery inside the pencil can lose the capacity to charge. There is no way to fix that since there is no way to access the Pencil's battery. You need to replace it.
