Apple Pencil Battery Drains Too Fast? Here’s How to Fix It

Apple Pencil Battery Drains Quickly? Don’t Panic – Here’s What to Do

If your Apple Pencil’s battery is dying faster than expected, you’re not alone. Many users face this issue, whether with the 1st generation or the 2nd generation Apple Pencil. But before you think of replacing it, try these simple fixes that can help restore your stylus’ battery life.

At SPR – Smartphone Repair, we’ve helped hundreds of Apple Pencil users troubleshoot, repair and revive their devices quickly and affordably. Let’s walk through the common causes and solutions for a fast-draining Apple Pencil.

Why Is Your Apple Pencil Battery Draining So Fast?

Several issues can contribute to rapid battery loss, including:

1. Inactivity or Idle Discharge

Even when not in use, your Apple Pencil may be slowly discharging. If it hasn’t been charged in a while, this can lead to a deep discharge or degraded battery.

2. Bluetooth Connection Issues

If the Bluetooth connection between your iPad and Pencil is unstable, it can drain the battery as both devices keep trying to reconnect.

3. Battery Health Degradation

Over time, lithium-ion batteries wear out, especially if the Pencil is often left uncharged or fully drained for extended periods.

4. Firmware or iOS Glitches

Sometimes, bugs in iPadOS or firmware updates can lead to poor battery performance in the Apple Pencil.

How to Fix Apple Pencil Fast Battery Drain

1. Charge Your Apple Pencil Fully and Regularly

Avoid leaving the Pencil uncharged for too long. A full recharge and regular top-ups can help prolong battery life.

2. Unpair and Re-Pair Your Apple Pencil

• Go to Settings > Bluetooth

• Tap the (i) icon next to Apple Pencil

• Tap Forget This Device

• Reconnect it to your iPad and monitor battery usage

3. Restart Your iPad

Sometimes, a simple restart can reset background services affecting battery performance.

4. Check for Software Updates

Ensure your iPadOS is up to date. Updates often fix Bluetooth and connectivity-related bugs.

5. Store Apple Pencil Correctly

If you’re using Apple Pencil (2nd generation), keep it attached to the side of your iPad Pro, iPad Air or iPad mini (models that support magnetic charging) to help save battery and keep it charged.
