These support pages may be helpful with pairing, charging and use of the Pencil with your iPad:

Connect Apple Pencil with your iPad - Apple Support

Charge your Apple Pencil and check the battery – Apple Support


If you continue to experience difficulties, here is one of the better troubleshooting guides:

Be aware that if your Pencil has been set-aside for an extended period, unused and uncharged, the Pencil battery may now be irretrievably damaged through deep discharge. In common with all Li-ion batteries, they must always have some level of charge.


If your Pencil has failed - and is within its one-year manufacturers warranty, Apple will likely replace the Pencil without quibble.
