Apple Pencil 2nd Generation

Your Apple Pencil is exhibiting symptoms of a dead battery - that will not accept or hold any charge.

The tiny internal Li-ion battery is susceptible to permanent/irreversible damage through being left discharged for long periods. Even some “new” pencils can exhibit signs of failure out-of-the-box if they are “old stock”. It is essential that if you have an Apple Pencil that you charge it regularly - whether used or not - so as to protect the battery from deep-discharge. Do not allow a pencil to remain in low-charge state for any period of time - as the internal battery will fail, rendering the Pencil useless.

Setting aside an unused Pencil, for extended periods, is a recipe for premature death of the Pencil battery.

A second generation Pencil should be docked with its host iPad whenever it is not being actively used- as this will optimally charge and maintain the Pencil battery.

If the Pencil Battery has failed, the only remedy is to replace the Pencil. If the battery has failed and your pencil is within its one-year warranty, you should look to having it replaced by your retailer or at an Apple Store.

I hope this information proves to be helpful in both diagnosing and resolving the problem.

Since your pencil is still covered by warranty, I suggest that you make an appointment at an Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider and have your Pencil & iPad inspected. After checking them out, Apple technicians will give you all the available options.
