If you are a proud owner of an Apple Pencil, you might be wondering how long its battery lasts. Well, wonder no more because we have conducted a test to find out exactly that.

First, we charged the Apple Pencil to 100% and then used it for an hour straight, doing constant sketching, drawing, and coloring. After an hour, the battery dropped down to 95%, which means that the Apple Pencil battery drains at a rate of 5% per hour of constant use.

But don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that the battery will only last for 20 hours. This is because in real life, you won’t use the Apple Pencil constantly for 20 hours straight. You will take breaks, put it back on the table, or snap it back on the iPad to charge it.

One important thing to note is that the Apple Pencil battery is not serviceable. You can’t replace the battery, which is why it’s vital to know how to charge it properly and get the most out of it.

We also tested how long it takes to charge the Apple Pencil from 0% to 100%. To our surprise, it only took 14 minutes to fully charge it back up after an hour of constant use. This is much faster than the time it takes to discharge the battery.

In conclusion, the Apple Pencil battery lasts for 12 hours of constant use, but in real life, it will last longer due to breaks and charging times. So, if you are worried about the battery life of your Apple Pencil, rest assured that it will last you a long time.
