Apple Pencil 2 issue

I have the same issue with my Apple Pencil 2 and iPad Pro. I don’t think it’s anything to do with the battery (especially as you say it shows 100%) but the general consensus on here is that it is the battery. If the battery is so small and runs out of charge so quickly, how can it sit on the shelf in a shop or warehouse for so long before it’s bought or connected to charge?! Surely every pencil not bought within 10 seconds of manufacture in that case would be faulty from the off.

anyhow, I digress. I’ve been in contact with Apple support escalations and there’s an issue which affects some iPads and Pencils whereby the pencil stops working.

I had the same symptoms as you. The pencil would show in Bluetooth and I could see the battery percentage as full when I connected it to the side of the iPad but I could not draw with it. Before anyone says it’s the battery, this pencil was 2 days old.

one of the steps in trouble shooting says to forget the pencil in Bluetooth settings. If you do this, in my experience (3 pencils) you will NEVER be able to connect your pencil again. It’s now a bit of plastic. I still have no solution and I’m waiting for them to get back to me.

apparently there is a fix waiting but I wouldn’t hold your breath as I don’t think that many people have the issue

Many people/users have received new Apple Pencils from either Apple or other sources that have been received dead or became dead within a few months after purchase.

I suspect these new “old stock’ Apple Pencils did sit on a shelf while their batteries became depleted or near depleted shortening their lifespan.

Has the pencil sat around for a while not being charged?

Sounds like a battery issue

The Apple Pencil has a very small battery and needs to be constantly charged and never fully discharged.

It's a faulty battery, which can't be repaired

Thanks
