How to Fix Apple Pencil Not Charging on Working iPad

Hello,


My Apple Pencil is not changing on my iPad, which is charged at 100%. I learned that it's bad for your Pencil to stay dead, I'm at 1% and not able to write with it. It attaches magnetically to the side of the iPad and charges for a couple seconds then no further charging. I've cleaned the iPad with no resolve. Can this be fixed?

iPad Pro (2nd generation)

I found this thread because I had the same issue of my pencil not being charged.


Theres a much easier way to fix this without having to do a hard reset.


  1. Go to Bluetooth settings.
  2. Click on the info button next to the pencil
  3. Press forget device
  4. Pair the iPad and pencil again


Your pencil will show as charging/charged again.
