Why is my Apple Pencil not charging or connecting
If your Apple Pencil isn't charging or connecting to your iPad, this may be an issue with your Bluetooth. You can toggle Bluetooth on and off, or you can re-pair your Apple Pencil to your device. Be sure to update your iPad to the latest version. If all else fails, you may need to order a new Apple Pencil.
Why did my Apple Pencil stop charging
The most common reason that the Apple Pencil is not charging is that it has not been connected or used in quite some time. These accessories contain the same type of batteries found in pretty much all of our devices, but are much smaller and can easily drain completely.
How do I know if my Apple Pencil is broken
However, if the Apple Pencil nib feels rough to the touch, or it doesn't glide smoothly on your iPad screen, it's time to replace it with a new one. (Another way to tell: your Apple Pencil tip has exposed metal.)
How do you fix a dead Apple Pencil
But I would sort of leave that for Last Resort. Both pencils are very similar the tips are actually almost identical.
Do Apple Pencil batteries go bad
If an Apple Pencil sits around unused and not kept charged up for more than a few weeks, or so, OR LONGER, then the battery in your Apple Pencil may have failed and is dead and you will have to purchase another brand new Apple Pencil.
How many years does Apple Pencil last
The pencil should last several years if you're careful with it. The two ways it will fail are physical damage and eventual consumption of the batteries. One way you won't get long life out of a pencil is if you don't use it and keep it charged monthly. Avoid hard drops to the hard floor.
Do Apple pencils get damaged
It could happen that the tip hits the floor at precisely the wrong angle, and breaks your pencil. I've had this experience once, and it caused the entire Apple Pencil to become useless, since the tip could not be repaired, nor replaced, because it had crammed itself into the pencil.
How do I know if my Apple Pencil is damaged
Sometimes you might feel as if the Apple Pencil does not glide over the screen as smooth as it once did. You might also notice the iPad doesn't respond to your input as you would expect. These are signals that the Apple Pencil tip is worn out, and needs replacing.
How many years do Apple pencils last
It depends on how you use it, I know someone who uses their Pencil every day and it lasted them two years. I just replaced mine after six months of often long-session daily use (in hindsight, probably should have replaced it a month prior).
Do Apple pens go bad
Once every two years is a good rule of thumb. Replacing the Apple Pencil tip at this interval will be smart for most users. Perhaps if you use your pencil very much, you should consider doing it more often. Also, if you only use the Pencil to take the occasional screenshot, perhaps after two years the tip is still top.

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.

If Apple Pencil is acting unresponsive, it is most likely out of battery. Try plugging the pencil into your iPad (Pencil 1) or placing it on the side of your iPad (Pencil 2) and letting it charge for about ten minutes. Then try using it again. You may need to re-establish a connection with your iPad.
