Thanks for sharing those details — the behavior you’re seeing with the 1st gen Apple Pencil isn’t unusual for a battery of its age. These pencils use tiny lithium-ion cells, and after a few years they start showing sudden percentage drops, slow charging, or inconsistent readings like jumping from 9% back to 6%. Unfortunately, once that begins, it usually means the battery is wearing out internally.
Before considering a replacement, try the following things to confirm the issue:
If the percentage still fluctuates or charging remains unusually slow, it’s very likely the battery is degraded. Apple doesn’t replace Apple Pencil batteries, so the standard solution is replacing the Pencil itself.

Just a year . Bought it in Nov 2024 .and I always charge it when battery is between 30 to 40 percent. This problem also occured in early 2025 but resolved when I updated the system and again occured now .
How long have you had this Apple Pencil. Has it ever been left with little or no charge for an extended period of time (thinks months, years)?
I'll try this too
Is there any other way than replacing the pencil .
