There is nothing like annoying Drain the batteryThis causes the technology we use to lose its power, causing everything to stop. For those who use the Apple Pencil with an iPad, this experience can be very popular given that the Apple Pencil itself does not display battery life. The good news is that if you have a second generation Apple Pencil, the way to check your battery is fairly simple, as is the way it charges. And the first generation Apple Pencil requires a different approach.
The Apple Pencil is designed to last 12 hours of continuous use, and battery life definitely decreases with use. Here's how to check Apple Pencil battery depending on which version you have.
