Apple Pencil won’t charge past 1%?

I have a 1st gen Apple Pencil and a 10.5 inch iPad from 2020. I can get the pencil to connect when it’s plugged up (although it doesn’t let me use it), but when I unplug it from my iPad or lightning cable it won’t work. When I plug it back up it says its on 1%. What can be done about this situation?
