This is how long the battery usually lasts on an Apple Pencil

If you want to take digital notes, using an Apple Pencil is a good idea. While you can charge the first-generation Apple Pencil via a Lightning cable on your iPad or iPhone, the second-generation model charges directly via the magnetic side on the iPad. How long you can use the Pencil depends on the battery life, although this differs between the two models.

1. Charging the first-generation Apple Pencil usually takes some time. After that, you can use the pen for about 12 hours. Depending on how long the Pencil is used and how long you have owned it, the battery life may decrease.
2. Charging the Pencil for 15 seconds will give you about 30 minutes of use. The total charging time takes about 30 minutes for the first version.
3. The second generation Apple Pencil uses the so-called "Fast Charging" function. This makes charging the pen much faster. Doch auch hier beträgt die Nutzungsdauer bei einer vollen Aufladung ungefähr 12 Stunden.
