What should you do, if the Apple Pencil Stuck At 3 Charges? We’ve compiled a list of possible troubleshooting actions for you. If you own an iPad that is compatible with the Apple Pencil, you are probably already aware of how unique this combination is.

Because it is so helpful to write notes by hand rather than using a keyboard or your fingers, we advise almost every iPad owner to purchase an Apple Pencil. This special stylus has a built-in battery that must be regularly recharged.

How To Fix Apple Pencil Stuck At 3 Charges?

The pencil must be replaced if the Pencil Battery has failed. Consider having your pencil replaced by your merchant or at an Apple Store if the battery has failed and your pencil is still covered by its one-year guarantee.

Leave The Apple Pencil Connected (And Charging)

When the Apple Pencil won’t charge, it’s usually because it hasn’t been used or connected in a while. The batteries in these accessories are the same as those in almost all of our devices, although they are much smaller and more easily drained.

You might not be capable of using the Apple Pencil again if the battery is damaged by being left without a charge for an extended period. Apple advises charging the pencil frequently to prevent this from happening. There is one more step you may take if you are still having issues and are trying to find out what to do.

Unpair And Repair Your Apple Pencil

Some people might believe that since the pairing process is so flawless, you won’t actually be able to take an Apple Pencil off of an iPad without it first dying. That is untrue because the Apple Pencil and iPad communicate over Bluetooth, and the pencil from your iPad can be manually unpaired before being manually repaired.

• Launch the iPad’s Settings app.
• Click Bluetooth in the sidebar on the left.
• Write the I next to the name of your Apple Pencil in the Bluetooth menu.
• Then select Forget This Device.
• Restart your iPad.
• Attach the Apple Pencil after restarting your iPad and unlocking it.
• Hold off until a message confirming a connection between the iPad and Apple Pencil appears.

Reentering the Bluetooth settings is another way to confirm if your Apple Pencil is linked to your iPad. If everything is back in working order, you should now see the name of the Apple Pencil shown in the list of devices.

Wipe Down Both The iPad And Apple Pencil

This one might seem a little out there, but there have been times when a quick wipe-down of the iPad and Apple Pencil ends up fixing the problem. We advise thoroughly wiping the iPad and pencil down with eyeglass wipes and a microfiber towel. Reattach your Apple Pencil to the iPad after removing the residue to check whether it reappears and starts charging.

Restart Your iPad

Simply restarting your iPad is the next simplest action you can do. Even though you may have already given it a shot and failed for whatever reason, giving it one more reset might actually work this time. Here’s how to reset your iPad so that your Apple Pencil may once more start charging.
