I got a 1st gen Pencil (as a gift) and never used it with my iPad Pro. (It was not something I wanted, but was given it anyway.) Before I bought it, I was told that I can use it with my new iPad Air. I figured out how I can connect them. How do I tell if the Pencil is charged?

Thanks for your replies. Before I bought my Air, I saw (ob the Apple website) that it was compatible with Pencil gen 1. Can't find that info now, but I'm aggravated. Thanks again!
The iPad Air 4th gen requires a 2nd gen pencil
If the pencil has been sitting around uncharged, it may not hold a charge anymore. How long has it been sitting in the box?
